Formative Quiz: Experiment 6 (A&B)

The innervation of the intrafusal fibers of the muscle spindles is your annulospiral and flower spray endings.

• True

• False

Describe the annulospiral endings and flower spray endings.

• Annulospiral endings and flower spray endings are types of sensory nerve endings found in muscle spindles.

• Annulospiral endings and flower spray endings are types of sensory nerve endings found in tendons.

• Annulospiral endings and flower spray endings are types of motor nerve endings found in muscle spindles.

• Annulospiral endings and flower spray endings are types of sensory nerve endings found in skin.

Your reflex arc consists of a sensory organ, the sensory nerve, the alpha motor neuron, and the muscle.

• True

• False

Plasticity is the tendency of the soft tissue to assume a new and greater lengths after the force has been removed.

• True

• False

What is the function of the Golgi tendon organ?

• To sense and monitor tension or force in muscles and tendons.

• To regulate blood flow in the muscles.

• To produce and release hormones.

• To store and release calcium ions in the muscles.

Explain the concept of muscle spindle and its role in proprioception.

• The muscle spindle is a sensory receptor located in the skin that detects touch and pressure.

• The muscle spindle is a sensory receptor located within the muscle that detects changes in muscle length and rate of change. It plays a crucial role in proprioception.

• The muscle spindle is a type of joint that connects bones together.

• The muscle spindle is a motor neuron that controls muscle contraction.

Collagen can stretch up to 150% it's length.

• True

• False

Flower spray endings are found on both nuclear bag and nuclear chain fibers.

• True

• False

Strain is described as the amount of deformation or lengthening when a force is applied.

• True

• False

The Toe Region is where the strain is directly proportional to the ability of tissue to resist the force.

• True

• False
