Oh, you have got to be kidding. This is NOT what tonic muscles are. Complete re-write impending. Mokele (talk) 13:49, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks right to me; what do you think is wrong in the brief definition of tonic muscles?Vibackup (talk) 14:07, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article with an adjective for a title. It has been flagged for over 10 years as needing a medical expert to have a look at it.

As a non-medic, it looks to me as if we have two different topics here, one of which is covered at Smooth_muscle#Phasic_or_tonic and one at Sensory_neuron#Rate_of_adaptation, well sourced in both cases. I suggest that this article if needed at all could be converted into a page linking to those two articles (a set index rather than a dab page?). The two terms "Tonic muscle" and "Tonic (sensory) receptor" both probably belong in the dab page Tonic as useful "partial title matches". PamD 14:06, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
