Primary and secondary afferent discharges from the same spindle during chain fibre contraction in cat tenuissimus muscle.

Abstract:

:Pairs of Ia and II afferent fibres supplying primary and secondary endings lying in the same tenuissimus spindles were prepared in barbiturate anaesthetized cats in order to compare the variability in the rhythm of discharge of the two endings during responses elicited by the contraction of different intrafusal muscle fibres, especially by chain fibres. In these spindles, the intrafusal muscle fibres supplied by single static gamma-axons were identified with a recently developed technique based on the types of primary ending activation observed during gamma stimulation at 30 and 100 stimuli/s. The responses of the secondary endings to contraction of chain fibres either alone or with bag2 fibres were smaller and much more regular than the responses of the primary endings lying in the same spindles. This difference is probably related to the position of secondary endings along the intrafusal muscle fibres and to the mechanical properties of the muscle fibre regions on which the terminals lie. The dynamic properties of the encoding site of primary afferent impulses probably contribute to the difference. The different degrees of variability observed among secondary ending responses elicited either by chain fibres alone or by chain and bag2 fibres are not related to the type of activated intrafusal muscle fibres.
