Golgi tendon organ function is?
(A) Detects the dynamic change in muscle length (B) Detects the muscle tension (C) Detects the muscle stretch (D) Detects the muscle strength
(B) There are two proprioceptors in a muscle: - Muscle spindle Golgi tendon organ - Situated in belly or muscle - Formed by intra-fusal fibres - Detects the length of muscle when muscle is stationary - Detect rate of change of length - Present in tendon - Made up of tendon fibres - Detects the muscle tension. - Detects rate of change of tension.
