HISTOCHEMICAL DUALITY OF RABBIT INTRAFUSAL FIBERS

Alfred J. Spiro, Rebecca L. Beilin

Open full text 16 citations

Abstract

Using the adenosine triphosphatase reaction two histochemically distinct types of intrafusal fibers were demonstrated in rabbit muscle spindles despite morphologic homogeneity of these fibers. This finding, reflecting metabolic differences between these fiber types, is offered as an explanation for the previously unexplained heterogeneity of their physiologic responses.
