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.
When a tendon stretches due to muscle contraction, the GTO's in the tendon sense the stretch and send a signal to the spinal cord which relaxes the muscle so that it doesn't tear the tendon. Golgi tendon organ reflex or tendon reflex; it prevents the TENDON from being torn due to an overly contracting muscle.
