During motor activity,alpha-gamma coactivation provides important information regarding muscle length to the higher motor control centers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alpha-gamma coactivation involves the simultaneous activation of alpha motor neurons (which control the extrafusal fibers of a muscle) and gamma motor neurons (which control the intrafusal fibers of a muscle). This coactivation allows for accurate control of muscle length during motor activity and provides important feedback to the higher motor control centers about the state of the muscles.
