Muscle Spindle

The neuromuscular spindle is a stretch-sensitive receptor in the muscles that allows us to control our movements and maintain balance. These are special receptors that are located in the bellies of striated muscles, parallel to the muscle fibers. When a muscle is stretched, receptors send signals to the brain and we feel changes in our body.

Spindle neuromuscular receptors are found in the muscles responsible for moving our body and maintaining balance. They help us regulate our movement and maintain balance. When muscles contract or stretch, spindle neuromuscular receptors send signals to the brain, which are then processed and used to coordinate movements.

In addition, spindle nerve muscle receptors are also involved in regulating glucose levels and other metabolic processes in the body. They may be associated with various diseases such as diabetes, obesity and others as they can affect glucose metabolism and other metabolic processes in the body.

In conclusion, spindle neuromuscular receptors play an important role in our daily lives and are important components of our movement and coordination. They can also be associated with many diseases, so it is important to maintain their health and function.

Function of the spindle neuromuscular receptor

The main function of the muscle spindle (NS1) is to encode and transmit information about the state of muscle tone over time through the nervous system to the muscle. Nerve muscle spindles work exclusively at rest, while the stretch receptor is responsible for the ability of muscles to work in motion and at the stage of tonic contraction. The state of tonic contraction allows you to make a more accurate and, most importantly, longer movement. This should also be taken into account when preventing injuries, since muscle contraction should not only be maximally controlled by the central nervous system, but also occur without hypertonicity, that is, with optimal strength. First of all, this affects joint mobility, which is especially important for athletes and even military personnel, regardless of their type of activity. Severe muscle hypertonicity can be provoked by exhausting loads when performing cardio exercises, as well as excessive loads during training, especially in stretching. Therefore, to prevent injury, it is imperative to study stretching techniques in advance and perform them according to the rules. Dysfunction of the spindle of the nervous muscular system

Due to the important role of receptors for the nervous regulation of muscle tone, disruption of their functioning can cause pathology and disorders of voluntary muscle function. Depending on the form of the disorder, the pathology can manifest itself as muscle cramps and spasms, muscle hypotonic state, and flaccid paralysis. Violation of electrogenesis is accompanied by nonspecific symptoms in the form of chronic pain.
