gamma loop

gamma loop
a three-part reflex arc consisting of gamma motoneurons that send impulses along the gamma fibers to the intrafusal fibers, causing the muscle spindle to contract; that in turn excites afferent impulses, which pass through the posterior root to alpha motoneurons in the anterior horn, causing a stretch reflex. Called also Granit l.
