I his pressure beyond what is strictly necessary to sustain the 

 weights. 



Anatomical proof that the muscles, tendons, and joints art- 

 sensitive, o\\ing not only to the sensory nerves that traverse them 

 to reach the skin, hut also to the 

 lihres that terminate there, was 

 given hy Reichert, Kolliker, and 

 others. 



According to Kolliker tin- 

 sensory nerve -fibres of muscles 

 almost always run towards the 

 surface and ends of the muscle, 

 and terminate in the connective 

 tissue, perimysium, and tendons, 

 never in the sarcolemma of the, 

 muscle-fibres.
