golgi tendon organ การใช้

• Golgi tendon organs function as static mechanoreceptors for protection of ligaments around the temporomandibular joint.
• Through Golgi tendon organ, the tight muscle is relaxed, and allowed to lengthen.
• Unlike the Golgi tendon organs, Golgi receptors report joint position independent of muscle contraction.
• The autogenic inhibition reflex is a spinal reflex phenomenon that involves the Golgi tendon organ.
• Proprioceptors ( muscle spindle and Golgi tendon organs ) provide information about joint position and muscle movement.
• Microcurrent treatment works by passing a very small direct current through muscle tissue to stimulate the Golgi tendon organ.
• When tension is applied to a muscle, group Ib fibers that innervate the Golgi tendon organ are activated.
• Until 1967 it was believed that Golgi tendon organs had a high threshold, only becoming active at high muscle forces.
• Golgi tendon organs operate as a feedback mechanism by causing myofascial relaxation before muscle force becomes so great that tendons might be torn.
• However, Golgi tendon organs differ from nuclear chain and nuclear bag fibers in that they are considered in parallel to the muscle fibers.
• Also note that a similar structure attaching one end to muscle and the other end to a tendon is known as a Golgi tendon organ.
• Muscle spindles are encapsulated by connective tissue, and are aligned parallel to extrafusal muscle fibers, unlike Golgi tendon organs, which are oriented in series.
• Proprioceptive ( Golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles ) and exteroreceptive ( optic, vestibular and cutaneous ) receptors work alone or in combination to adjust the CPG to sensory feedback.
• The "'rostral spinocerebellar tract "'is a tract which transmits information from the golgi tendon organs of the cranial half of the body to the cerebellum.
• The sensory input to ?-MNs is extensive and has its origin in Golgi tendon organs, muscle spindles, mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and other sensory neurons in the periphery.
• The internal tendon bulk is thought to contain no nerve fibres, but the epitenon and paratenon contain nerve endings, while Golgi tendon organs are present at the junction between tendon and muscle.
• Using Sherrington's system, physiologists and anatomists search for specialised nerve endings that transmit mechanical data on joint capsule, tendon and muscle tension ( such as Golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles ), which play a large role in proprioception.
• The primary sensory receptors for touch-position ( Meissner s corpuscles, Merkel's receptors, Pacinian corpuscles, Ruffini s corpuscles, hair receptors, muscle spindle organs and Golgi tendon organs ) are structurally more complex than those for pain-temperature, which are nerve endings.
• Autogenic inhibition ( historically known as the inverse myotatic reflex or autogenetic inhibition ) refers to a reduction in excitability of a contracting or stretched muscle, that in the past has been solely attributed to the increased inhibitory input arising from Golgi tendon organs ( GTOs ) within the same muscle.
• In a typical circumstance, when a human is exerting a muscle as hard as he / she is consciously able, roughly one-third of the fibers in that muscle will be firing at once, though this ratio can be affected by various physiological and psychological factors ( including Golgi tendon organs and Renshaw cells ).
