PROPRIOCEPTORS * automatic control * coordinated movements * central control vs. peripheral control * voluntary vs. involuntary * muscle spindles * Golgi tendon organs MUSCLE SPINDLE * Stretch receptors * extrafusal vs. intrafusal fibers * nuclear chain fibers * nuclear bag fibers Spindle innervation 1.) Afferent (sensory) neurons * primary type 1a afferent annulo-spiral endings dynamic stretch * secondary type II afferent flower spray endings static stretch 2.) Efferent (motor) innervation * gamma motor neuron (fusiform) * gamma drive & gamma bias * alpha - gamma co-activation * external vs. internal stretch * reciprocal inhibition GOLGI TENDON ORGAN * Musculotendinous junction * Tension receptors * Type 1b afferent neuron * Gamma stimulation * Static response * Dynamic response * Lengthening reaction * Autogenic inhibition
