Zusammenfassung

Die Morphologie und Innervation der Muskelspindeln der Lumbricalmuskulatur im Hinterfuss der Ratte wird beschrieben. Eine typische Muskelspindel enthält zwei «nuclear bag» Fasern und zwei «nuclear chain» Fasern. Jede Spindel enhält 2 motorische Nerven, einer innerviert die «nuclear bag» Fasern, der andere die «nuclear chain» Fasern. 50% der Spindeln haben nur primäre sensorische Innervationen, die übrigen 50% haben eine primäre sensorische Endung und 1 oder 2 sekundäre Endungen.
