What must a weight lifter depend on in order to monitor the strain on their knees?
golgi tendon organs
How many types of proprioceptors do you have?
Muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs. im not sure if there are more but those are the ones i know of
Which Nerve ending is located in a tendon and protects against overcontracting?
The internal tendon bulk is thought to contain no nerve fibres, but the epitenon and paratenon contain nerve endings, while Golgi tendon organs are present at the junction between tendon and muscle.
What aspects of muscle function are monitored by muscle spindles and tendon organs?
Muscle spindle monitors stretch and golgi tendon organ the tension that developed during forced contraction thank u
What are the three major organs in the Muscular system?
Three organs of the muscular system would be muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. If we included nerve receptors, then we could add Golgi tendon organs and muscle spindle cells.
What reflex prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension?
It's called the stretch reflex and involves muscle spindles which are sensorimotor organs located in skeletal muscle.
What type of stimulation does a Golgi tendon organ respond to?
Muscle contraction
