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 Golgi tendon organs monitor tension produced by muscular contraction. detect the length of the muscle fiber. activate gamma motor neurons. detect the position of joints during movement.

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
