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.
Since the golgi tendon organs are in series with the muscle fibers they are stimulated by both passive stretch and active contraction of the muscle. The golgi tendon organ therefore acts as a transducer in a feedback circuit that helps to regulate muscle force through inhibition and relaxation of the muscle.o achieve this the limb is place in painfree range and an isometric contraction is sustained. The limb is then moved into the new range. The hold-relax method of PNF stretching is facilitated by the golgi tendon organ to allow a reflexive relaxation of the muscle.
