Reciprocal innervationMultiple Choiceis associated with the Golgi tendon reflex.stimulates antagonistic muscles.results in reduced resistance to the reflex.reinforces the withdrawal reflex.inhibits the stretch reflex.

What stimulates Golgi tendon organs?Multiple ChoiceA muscle is contracting with minimal tension.A muscle is stretched nearly to its limit.A muscle starts to relax after strenuous exercise.A muscle has become metabolically active.

The “reverse myotatic reflex” is best described as follows:  the Golgi tendon organ afferent is activated by muscle tension leading to a monosynaptic reflex in the spinal cord which excites the motor neuron to the same muscle   the Golgi tendon organ afferent is activated by muscle length leading to a monosynaptic reflex in the spinal cord which inhibits the motor neuron to the same muscle   the Golgi tendon organ afferent is activated by muscle tension leading to a polysynaptic reflex in the spinal cord which inhibits the motor neuron to the same muscle   the muscle spindle afferent is activated by muscle tension leading to a polysynaptic reflex in the spinal cord which inhibits the motor neuron to the antagonist muscle   the muscle spindle afferent is activated by muscle tension leading to a polysynaptic reflex in the spinal cord which inhibits the motor neuron to the same muscle

Stimulation of the Golgi tendon organs result in which of the following changes in the reflex arc?Multiple ChoiceStimulation of a stimulatory interneuronStimulation of an inhibitory neuronDecreased action potentials in alpha motor neuronsContraction of skeletal muscle fibersBoth "stimulation of an inhibitory neuron" and "decreased action potentials in alpha motor neurons" are correct.

Do Golgi tendon organs increase muscle contraction when tension is too high
