muscle spindles

Preferred Label : muscle spindles;

MeSH definition : Skeletal muscle structures that function as the MECHANORECEPTORS responsible for the stretch or myotactic reflex (REFLEX, STRETCH). They are composed of a bundle of encapsulated SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS, i.e., the intrafusal fibers (nuclear bag 1 fibers, nuclear bag 2 fibers, and nuclear chain fibers) innervated by SENSORY NEURONS.;

MeSH synonym : muscle stretch receptor; neuromuscular spindles; receptors, muscle stretch; spindle, muscle; spindles, neuromuscular; muscle spindle; spindles, muscle; neuromuscular spindle; spindle, neuromuscular; stretch receptors, muscle; muscle stretch receptors; receptor, muscle stretch; stretch receptor, muscle; receptors, stretch, muscle;
