Abstract:Satellite cells (SC) are quiescent cell located between the sarcolemma and basal lamina of the skeletal muscle fibers. The SC can get activated contributing to regeneration and/or growth of muscle. The neuromuscular spindles are mechanoreceptors located within the skeletal muscle and are considered as contractile regulatory unit. It is composed of intrafusal muscle fibers (IF), surrounded by a sheath and is parallel to extrafusal fibers. Denervation cause changes in skeletal muscles both in the SC and neuromus… Show more
