Proprioceptive innervation of the external cremaster muscle of some domestic mammals

Giovanni Filippo Palmieri, R Panu, A Asole, A. Branca

Abstract

The proprioceptive innervation of the external cremaster muscle of some domestic animals was studied. Muscle spindles and tendon organs with their well-known features were found, but this finding was uncommon and unexpected in the investigated animals. For this reason, we believe that there is no relationship between the presence of these proprioceptors and the cremasteric reflex.
