Discharge from muscle spindles could be increased by all the following, except :-a- increased α-motor neuron dischargeb- increased γ-motor neuron dischargec- stretch of the intrafusal muscle fibersd- stretch of the extrafusal muscle fibers
If implanted electrodes were used to stimulate action potentials in gamma motor neurons to flexors of the left arm, which would be the most likely result?a. inhibition of the flexors of the left armb. a decrease in action potentials from muscle-spindle receptors in the left armc. a decrease in action potentials from Golgi tendon organs in the left armd. an increase in action potentials along alpha motor neurons to flexors inthe left arme. contraction of flexor muscles in the right arm
Why does muscle CAP Amp for both the normal Ringer's solution and Ringer's solution with Neostigmine increased as the stimulus amplitude increased, but a normal Ringer's solution would have a larger muscle CAP Amp value? Why is this the same case for a CAP Period as stimulus amplitude increases?. Why would Muscle CAP Period values for Ringer's with NEO then have larger values. Why does a normal Ringer's solution take longer to reach maximum action potential ?
Increased γ-motor neuron discharge stimulates muscle spindles, because :-a- it produces stretch of the extrafusal muscle fibersb- it causes stretch of the peripheral regions of the intrafusal fibersc- it causes stretch of the central region of the intrafusal fibersd- it stimulates directly the sensory fibers innervating muscle spindles
Interruption of spindle discharge from a muscle causes contraction of the muscle to become jerky and irregular due to :-a- increased activity of reverberating circuits causing fluctuation of the motor discharge to the muscleb- increased activity of inhibitory interneurons causing oscillating inhibition of the α-motor neurons of the musclec- irregular discharge of excitatory inputs to the α-motor neurons of the muscle d- post-tetanic potentiation of the α-motor neurons of the muscle

The golgi tendon organ responds to changes in muscle length, the spindles respond to changes in muscle tension c. The golgi tendon organ responds to changes in muscle tension, the spindles respond to changes in muscle length d. The golgi tendon organ responds to changes in muscle tension and the rate of muscle firing, the spindles respond to changes in muscle length and duration of firing
Why is it important to remove acetylcholine from its binding to acetylcholine receptors once the neural stimulus ends? What can be the possible consequence of the non-removal of acetylcholine to the skeletal muscle fiber?
In the stretch reflex,a. Golgi tendon organs activate contraction in extrafusal muscle fibersconnected to that tendon.b. lengthening of muscle-spindle receptors in a muscle leads tocontraction in an antagonist muscle.c. action potentials from muscle-spindle receptors in a muscle formmonosynaptic excitatory synapses on motor neurons to extrafusal fiberswithin the same muscles.d. slackening of intrafusal fibers within a muscle activates gamma motorneurons that form excitatory synapses with extrafusal fibers within thatsame muscle.e. afferent neurons to the sensorimotor cortex stimulate the agonist muscle to contract and the antagonist muscle to be inhibited
