Neuromuscular Spindle
Description:
The neuromuscular spindle, also known as the muscle spindle or proprioceptor, is a sensory organ primarily located within skeletal muscles. It plays a critical role in proprioception, which is our sense of body position and movement. This specialized receptor detects changes in muscle length and tension, providing vital feedback to the central nervous system.
Sample Sentences:
- The neuromuscular spindle helps us maintain balance while walking or running.
- Injuries to the neuromuscular spindle can lead to proprioceptive deficits and impaired muscle coordination.
- A strong connection between the neuromuscular spindle and the spinal cord ensures proper muscle control and response.
