The mm. lumbricales and the mm. capsulares of the shoulder and hip joints of the horse are rich in neuromuscular spindles (NMS). The mm. interossei of the pig, but not of the horse, have NMS too. In the m. orbicularis of the eye, m.hyo-epiglotticus and the m. palatinus of the horse NMS are absent. In the vestigial muscles, as m. extensor digitorum brevis and m. of Thiernesse, NMS are absent too. A role of modulator for the proximal muscles of the limbs by the distal muscles is hypothesized, as well as the absence of NMS in striated muscles not involved in locomotion.
马的蚓状肌以及肩部和髋关节的关节囊肌富含神经肌肉梭（NMS）。猪的骨间肌有神经肌肉梭，而马的没有。马的眼轮匝肌、舌会厌肌和腭肌没有神经肌肉梭。在退化肌肉中，如趾短伸肌和蒂尔内斯肌，也没有神经肌肉梭。推测远端肌肉对肢体近端肌肉起调节作用，以及不参与运动的横纹肌中不存在神经肌肉梭。
