Muscle Spindle
• Capsule• Polar regions
– -motorneurons– Striated contractile proteins
• Equatorial region– Primary afferent (Ia)– Secondary afferent (II)– Non-contractile– Nuclear bag & chain

Spindle efferents
• Dynamic bag/bag1– Usually only influences the primary ending– Increases velocity gain
• Static bag/bag2– Offset both primary & secondary– Reduces length sensitivity of primary
• Chain– Take up slack– Increase length sensitivity of secondary

Spindle Mechanics
• Equatorial stretch induces depolarization– Windings amplify length change– Stretch imposed from outside– Stretch imposed by contraction of poles
• Accommodation– Viscoelastic creep/relaxation– Primary fast: velocity– Secondary slow: length
