Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi tendon organ signals the amount of force being applied to a muscle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sensors in the tendon, the Golgi tendon organ, are activated upon stretch of the tendon, which requires considerable force. These sensors synapse on interneurons in the spinal cord that inhibit further activity of the motor neurons innervating the muscle. This relaxation of the muscle prevents damage from excess force.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Golgi tendon organ (GTO) (also called Golgi organ, tendon organ, neurotendinous organ or neurotendinous spindle) is a proprioceptor – a type of sensory receptor that senses changes in muscle tension.
