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.
• The tendon organ is a stretch receptor that signals the force developed by the muscle.
• Tendon organs signal muscle force through the entire physiological range, not only at high strain.
• 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.
• Each tendon organ is innervated by a single afferent fibrous capsule which contains a number of enlarged tendon fasciculi ( intrafusal fasciculi ).
• 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.
• Mammalian tendon organ showing typical position in a muscle ( left ), neuronal connections in spinal cord ( middle ) and expanded schematic ( right ).
• Consequently it was thought that tendon organ input caused " weightlifting failure " through the clasp-knife reflex, which protected the muscle and tendons from excessive force.
• 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.
