Golgi tendon organ manages muscles and prevents injury by monitoring the rate of muscle contraction.

What is the Golgi tendon organ? What is its primary function?

Sensory organs called Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) are found in the tendon next to the myotendinous junction. The Golgi tendon organ, which is located close to the point where a tendon joins a muscle, is a sensory ending that resembles a tree and is encased in a spindle-shaped connective tissue capsule.

The Golgi tendon organ is the sensory organ that determines how much tension the muscle is exerting when someone lifts weights. The Golgi tendon organ will prevent the muscle from producing any force (by a reflex arc) if there is excessive muscle tension, preventing you from harming yourself. Together, these monitor muscle length via the muscle spindles.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,
