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.
The afferent axon present in this tendon organ has huge diameter and is a type of myelinated axon. A fibrous capsule constituting several enlarged tendon fascicule (intrafusal fascicule) encloses the golgi tendon organ. The sides of the capsules are perforated by several nerve fibers that lose medullary sheaths.
