What nerve ending responds to cold?
It's the encapsulated endings- nerves that are found in the skin and joint capsules (end bulb of Krause, Ruffini corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles); skeletal muscle (neuromuscular spindles); muscle-tendon junctions (Golgi tendon organ)
The Golgi tendon organ GTO muscle spindle and Pacinian corpuscles make up the three primary?
Inhibitory proprioceptors
What type of stimulation does a Golgi tendon organ respond to?
Muscle contraction
Why do weightlifters inject themselves near their Golgi tendon?
they are able to lift weights
What are the main roles of the Golgi Tendon Organ and the Muscle Spindle?
its ball sacks
Golgi tendon organ detects the magnitude of mechanical stress at the musculotendinous junction?
True
The nervous system must monitor the behavior of muscles The receptor that provides information about the amount of tension being exerted on a given tendon is the?
Golgi tendon organ
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 are proprio receptors?
sense of position (Golgi tendon organ, muscle spindles, and joint receptors)
Is muscle sensations when rowing a boat a muscle spindle?
Muscle Spindle and Golgi Tendon Organ
What must a weight lifter depend on in order to monitor the strain on their knees?
golgi tendon organs
What reflex causes muscles relaxation and lengthening in response to muscle tension?
The reflex of the Golgi tendon.
