  • Title: [Receptor adaptation of muscle spindles treated in different ways].
    Author: Zalkind VI, Rokotova NA.
    Journal: Fiziol Zh SSSR Im I M Sechenova; 1978 Nov; 64(11):1548-54. PubMed ID: 153244.
    Abstract:
    Comparison of the grades of 60 sensitive muscle spindle terminals on two actions: gradual stretch of the muscle and short intensive tetanization of the muscle nerve, showed that, irrespective of the mode of action, the character of adaptation remains the smae in majority of units. The speed of receptors adaptation depends not on the specific of testing precedures, but, apparently, on the means of connection of the sensitive terminals with different types of intrafusal muscle fibers with different elasticviscous properties. The possible reason for speedy adaptation of muscle receptors of elementary dynamic type, is discussed.
