Abstract：
:A quantitative analysis of the motor innervation of intrafusal muscle fibres is described, based on teased silver-impregnated spindles of the tenuissimus muscle of the cat. Included in the analysis are the number and distribution of intrafusal branches of both skeletofusimotor (beta) and purely fusimotor (gamma) axons, and the form of their endings. The number of axonal branches per spindle was found to follow binomial probability distributions, as had previously been shown for the afferent axons. There was a strong correlation between the numbers of gamma intrafusal branches and afferent axons, but none for the intrafusal branches of beta axons. The degree of segregation of gamma input to bag2 and chain fibres was assessed and was found, among other things, to be related to the presence of secondary sensory endings in the same pole. In this and other respects it did not appear to have the properties that would be expected if independent activation of the bag2 and chain fibres were to be functionally important. Morphometric analysis of the motor endings supplied to bag2 or chain fibres by gamma axons revealed some differences between those of intrafusal branches with segregated as opposed to unsegregated distributions, but this cannot be taken as evidence of more than one type of static gamma motoneuron because of the likely contribution of other influential factors such as fibre size. Finally, the relevance of studies on intrafusal motor innervation to the concept of the motor unit and its development are discussed.
