| Abstract | 1. The experiments reported here support the view that some spindles in the peroneus tertius muscle of the anaesthetized cat lack a nuclear bag1 intrafusal fibre. 2. The bag1 fibre is characterized by the fact that it is innervated exclusively by dynamic fusimotor axons. A method was devised to test each spindle in peroneus tertius for a dynamic fusimotor innervation. The ventral roots containing the muscle's motor supply were subdivided into five portions, approximately equal in terms of the tension they generated, and each piece was stimulated in turn, repetitively, at fusimotor strength, during ramp stretch of the muscle, to look for a large increase in dynamic response. 3. The method allowed confirmation that the majority of spindles in peroneus tertius had a dynamic fusimotor innervation. However, where the dynamic effect was weak and accompanied by a strong static fusimotor action and extrafusal unloading, it risked being overlooked. 4. The confirmatory test for the presence of a bag1 fibre was whether or not the spindle showed a large increase in dynamic response in the presence of the drug succinyl choline (SCh) injected arterially close to the muscle in which the spindle is located. SCh is known to induce a contracture in the bag1 fibre and therefore mimics tonic dynamic fusimotor stimulation. 5. In five experiments, of a total of forty-two spindles with afferents conducting within the group I range, five examples were encountered where there was no increase in dynamic response, either with ventral root stimulation or perfusion with SCh. It was concluded that these were spindles which lacked a bag1 fibre. 6. Passive stretch of such spindles revealed no feature in the response which allowed them to be distinguished from spindles in which the bag1 fibre was present. This conclusion posed the question, what contribution, if any, does the bag1 fibre make to the stretch response? 7. It was possible to show that under some conditions the bag1 fibre did contribute to the response to stretch. If the spindle was conditioned by repetitive nerve stimulation, at fusimotor strength, at a length longer than that at which a test stretch was applied, the response to the stretch was delayed, and it began at a lower rate than after conditioning stimulation at the test length. The delayed response was attributed to the presence of slack in intrafusal fibres.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
