The initial burst has been studied in primary endings of isolated mammalian muscle spindles subject to controlled ramp-and-hold stretch. Near the onset of ramp stretch the primary ending discharges at a frequency dependent on stretch velocity. The initial burst is reduced or abolished by repetitive stretch. After block of impulse activity by tetrodotoxin, the receptor potential of primary endings shows an initial component, a rapid depolarization which occurs near the onset of ramp stretch at the same time as the initial burst. This initial component depends, in rate of rise and amplitude, on stretch velocity. It is also reduced or abolished by repetitive stretch. Recording of tension development by the isolated spindle in response to ramp-and-hold stretch shows an early rise in tension associated with the initial burst and the initial component of the receptor potential. This tension rise is also dependent on stretch velocity and is reduced or abolished by repetitive stretch. The results provide direct evidence that the initial burst results from mechanical factors, probably from cross bridge formation between thick and thin filaments as has been suggested (3).
