Muscle Spindle Nuclear Bag Cell
Specialized intrafusal muscle fibers within the muscle spindle, characterized by a cluster of nuclei in a central 'bag' region, contributing to proprioception.
Key Functions:
- Detects changes in muscle length and rate of stretch.
- Innervated by both sensory and motor neurons.
- Essential for proprioception and motor control.
Interacting Systems & Components:
- Muscle Spindle (component of)
- Neuron (innervated by)
- Musculoskeletal System (part of)
- Nervous System (provides sensory feedback to)
