What Is the Function of Golgi Tendon Organs

question 28

Multiple Choice

What is the function of Golgi tendon organs?

• A)They detect stretch within tendons and inhibit the activation of alpha motor neurons to extrafusal muscle fibers in antagonistic muscles.
• B)They detect painful stimuli within tendons and inhibit gamma motor neurons to intrafusal muscle fibers in muscles attached to those tendons.
• C)They detect the angle of joints,and thus provide proprioceptive inputs about the position of the limbs in space.
• D)They detect stretch within tendons and inhibit the activation of alpha motor neurons to extrafusal muscle fibers in the muscle attached to those tendons.
• E)They stimulate the ends of intrafusal muscle fibers,ensuring that sensory information about muscle length is provided,even when a muscle shortens rapidly.
