Muscle spindles cause two things to happen: 1) the muscle being stretched (agonist) contracts to prevent you from going too far too fast in that stretch; and 2) the opposing muscle force (antagonist) is inhibited (prevented from contracting) so that that muscle doesnât pull that stretch further.he muscle spindleâs reflex contraction of its associated muscle simultaneously causes the antagonist muscle group to relax, which is called reciprocal inhibition. The muscle spindle serves as an alert to the muscles; they are located in the muscle belly and sense muscle stretch.
âIt always seems impossible until its done.â. Nelson Mandela quotes (South African Statesman First democratically elected State President of South Africa (1994), 1993 Nobel Prize for Peace, b.1918)
To Mr. Gideon, this hardly seemed fair. People could be locked up for years and it didn't make sense that some should have a lawyer while others did not. So Mr. Gideon took out a pencil and decided to do something about it. He wrote a plea to the US Supreme Court. Mr. Gideon's case was a long-shot. Against all odds, the Supreme Court picked his letter from the thousands it receives every year and decided to hear his case. Several months later, on March 18, 1963, the US Supreme Court gave its final decision.
