Responses of muscle spindles in the cat soleus muscle have been studied during vibration applied locally to the belly of the muscle. Bursts of vibration at 170 Hz and with a peak amplitude of 200 microns were applied to a site at which local pressure initiated impulses from the spindle. The response
## Abstract We recorded isometric and isotonic twitches, in situ, from the cat soleus at various muscle lengths and temperatures. At a given temperature the duration of isometric twitches increased approximately 60% for each 10% increase in muscle length, which was primarily owing to decreases in t
