Extrafusal muscle fibers are not to be confused with intrafusal muscle fibers, which are innervated by sensory nerve endings in central noncontractile parts and by gamma motor neurons in contractile ends and thus serve as a sensory proprioceptor.
Unlike short-term loans, which are used as a quick source of cash to tide over short-term liquidity problems, long-term debt financing is used for capital investments. Capital investments, such a real estate, machinery, vehicles, furniture and leases, provide real benefits to a company by either increasing its productivity or expanding its operating capacity.
The long-term loan usually has a maturity of 3-10 years although long-term bank loans can stretch out as far as 20 years depending on its purpose. Long-term bank loans are always supported by a company's collateral, usually in the form of the company's assets.
