RESUMO
1. In barbiturate-anaesthetized cats, the L7 and S1 dorsal and ventral roots were dissected to isolate functionally single afferents identified as primary endings of soleus muscle spindles, and motor filaments which exerted a fusimotor action on the afferents with limited action on extrafusal muscle. Up to seven filaments, with an action on a given primary ending, could be isolated and each was classified as exerting either a predominantly dynamic or static action.
