Also note the one recurrent theme that is most significant in the recognition of carbon monoxide poisoning-headache, dizziness and nausea. These 'flu like' symptoms are often mistaken for a real case of the flu and can result in delayed or misdiagnosed treatment.
What is the golgi tendon organ? Golgi tendon organ are placed where the muscles fibers of the skeletal muscles join the tendons. Golgi tendon organ is composed of nerve tissue and collagen strands. Also known as neurotendinous organ or neurotendious spindle, it is a type of proprioceptive sensory receptive organ.
7 Revised 08/09/2015 The Reflex Mediated by the Golgi Tendon Organ If the muscle generates too much force, the Golgi tendon organ is activated. Through an inhibitory interneuron in the spinal cord this activation reduces the firing rate of motoneurons. This decreases muscle contraction and muscle force (Figure 8.8).olgi tendon organs (1b) are located in the tendon of the muscle. This puts these receptors in series with the muscle. In this position any force generated by the muscle pulls on the tendon. Thus the Golgi tendon organs are ideally positioned to sense the force the muscle exerts.
