Tone within skeletal muscle is controlled via a receptor called the MUSCLE SPINDLE.
Therefore, to understand the control of tone it is imperative to understand function of the muscle spindle

Whenever skeletal muscle is stretched the muscle spindles are stimulated.

They detect:
1. changes in the length of muscle fibers.
2. the rate of change at which the muscles are lengthen stretched.
