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.
