Scope note: Estructuras del musculo esquelético que actúan como los MECANORRECEPTORES responsables de la fuerza o el reflejo miotático (REFLEJO MUSCULAR). Están constituidos por un paquete de FIBRAS NERVIOSAS ESQUELÉTICAS encapsuladas, es decir las fibras intrafusales (paquete nuclear 1 fibra, paquete nuclear 2 fibras, cadena de fibras nucleares) inervadas por NEURONAS SENSITIVAS

Scope note: Skeletal muscle structures that function as the MECHANORECEPTORS responsible for the stretch or myotactic reflex (REFLEX, STRETCH). They are composed of a bundle of encapsulated SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS, i.e., the intrafusal fibers (nuclear bag 1 fibers, nuclear bag 2 fibers, and nuclear chain fibers) innervated by SENSORY NEURONS.
