Nerve and Muscle Physiology — Flashcards

Stretch reflex:When _____ occurs, intrafusal and extrafusal fibers shorten together, and spindle afferent activity can occur throughout the period of muscle contraction

Which nerve fibres are the most susceptible to pressure?_____

_____ smooth muscle systems are innervated by a single nerve ending (en passant endings of nerve fibers)

_____ fibre is responsible for detecting the rate of change in muscle length

Stretch reflex:What are the afferent fibres for muscle spindle receptor?_____

Work done in a preloaded muscle contraction is _____ than afterloaded muscle contraction

Endplate potential is generated via _____ cholinergic receptor.

Is motor neuron discharge increased or decreased in clonus?

In _____ synapses, the cytoplasm of adjacent cells is directly connected by gap junctions (connexons)
