Muscle Spindle and Comparison of Fish Muscle Spindle with Other Vertebrates

Abstract

The aim of this study is to bring together the literature knowledge on muscule spindels that has been made up to until now and compare fish muscule spindels with other vertebrates. Muscle spindles are stretch receptor of skeletal muscles which detect the rate and degree of muscle length. According to the available literature, this review is considered as a one in making a comparison of fish muscle spindle and other vertebrates. Fish muscle spindle possesses single intrafusal muscle fiber similar to snake and lizard muscle spindle and have a double capsule similar in all vertebrates have studied. No significant differences in the length and diameter of intrafusal muscle fibers by comparison of muscle size. In fish and other vertebrates muscle spindles are supplied with one sensory ending (exception in mammalian may, in addition, be supplied with one or more secondary sensory endings) and receive its motor innervation from branches of axons that also innervate extrafusal muscle fibers. No investigation has been done about motor innervation of fish muscle spindle.

Kas İğleri ve Balık Kas İğlerinin Diğer Omurgalılar İle Karşılaştırması

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı bugüne kadar kas iğleri üzerine yapılan çalışmaları bir araya getirmek ve balıklar ile diğer omurgalıların kas iğlerini karşılaştırmaktır. Kas iğleri kas uzunluğunun oran ve yoğunluğunu belirleyen iskelet kaslarının germe reseptörleridir. Bu çalışma mevcut literatürlere göre diğer omurgalılar ile balık kas iğlerinin bir karşılaştırması olarak düşünülmüştür. Balık kas iğ yapısı tek intrafüzal kas lifi yılan ve kertenkelelere benzer ve bugüne kadar çalışılmış diğer omurgalılarda olduğu gibi çift kapsüllüdür. Kas büyüklüğü karşılaştırıldığında intrafüzal kas fibrillerinin uzunluk ve çapında önemli farklılıklar yoktur. Balık ve diğer omurgalılarda kas iğleri bir algılayıcı ile sonlanır (memeliler hariç, bir veya birkaç algılayıcı ile de sonlanabilir) ve ekstrafüzal kas liflerini sinir sistemine de bağlayan aksonların kollarından motor sinir bağlantısını sağlar. Balık kas iğlerinin motor sinir bağlantıları hakkında herhangi bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır.
