Regarding Golgi tendon organ true is ______________?
Correct answer: A. Sense muscle tension
- A. Sense muscle tension
- B. Involved in reciprocal innervation
- C. a- motor neuron stimulation
- D. Senses dynamic length of muscle
Explanation
Golgi tendon organs detect tension generated in a muscle and its tendon, especially during contraction. Muscle spindles detect muscle length and its rate of change, while reciprocal inhibition is mainly mediated through spindle-related pathways.
