A study was made of synaptic currents in voltageclamped muscle fibers of the frog. Fast, submaxillaris, and slow muscle fibers are innervated by nerve fibers of different conduction velocities. To avoid spatial complications, transmitter release by nerve impulses was restricted to the site of record

## Abstract The avian anterior latissimus dorsi (ALD) is unique amongst vertebrates since it has been considered to be a true slow (or tonic) skeletal muscle. While the structure and function of the extrafusal fibers in the ALD have been intensively investigated, the intrafusal fibers of its muscle
Golgi tendon organs are mechanoreceptors that monitor the contractile force produced by motor units. Receptors are most responsive to contractions of extrafusal muscle fibers that terminate closest to them and on them. Three anterior and four posterior chicken leg muscles were examined. Proportions
