Single units from stretch receptors in the elbow joint of the cat were studied in split-down filaments of the musculocutaneous nerve of the cat. The majority of fibres isolated responded to elbow extension with a phasic and then graded tonic or slowly adapting response. All fibres had a maximum adapted discharge at full extension. Over half the units also gave a phasic or tonic response at full flexion of the elbow, but this was non-graded and only appeared at the extreme position of the arm. These results are discussed briefly in the context of previous joint afferent studies.
在猫的肌皮神经的分离细丝中，对猫肘关节伸展感受器的单个单位进行了研究。大多数分离出的纤维对肘关节伸展产生一个相位性反应，然后是分级的紧张性或缓慢适应性反应。所有纤维在完全伸展时具有最大适应性放电。超过一半的单位在肘关节完全屈曲时也产生相位性或紧张性反应，但这是非分级的，且仅出现在手臂的极端位置。在先前关节传入研究的背景下，简要讨论了这些结果。
