Fields:

Front
How are y motor neurons involved in the muscle spindle reflex?
Back
  • If y motor neurons are absent, α motor neurons will contract extrafusal fibers, but the intrafusal fibers will not
    • Will unload the tension across the muscle spindle, leading to afferent fibers not firing
  • If y and α motor neurons coactivate, both extrafusal and intrafusal fibers will contract
    • Afferent fiber maintains its spontaneous activity?
