Golgi Tendon Organ
The Golgi tendon organ is a sensory receptor at the muscle-tendon junction that monitors tension and triggers muscle relaxation to prevent injury.
Definition and limits
A Golgi tendon organ is an encapsulated sensory ending associated with the muscle–tendon region and supplied by a group Ib afferent. It provides the nervous system with information related to muscle tension and participates in reflex regulation. It is not a simple emergency switch that always shuts a muscle off at one fixed force.
