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.
[Click to see a figure of a Golgi tendon organ from the text. , 2nd edition, by Purves et al. (2001). Just pay attention to panel A.] When the muscle contracts, the collagen fibrils are pulled tight, and this activates the Golgi tendon organ afferent (labelled Ib afferent in the figure).he muscle spindle is one type of proprioceptor that provides information about changes in muscle length. The Golgi tendon organ is another type of proprioceptor that provides information about changes in muscle tension. The figure schematizes the different components in a muscle spindle.
