Golgi Tendon Organs are specialized sensory receptors located at the junctions of muscles and tendons. They play a crucial role in monitoring muscle tension and preventing excessive force during muscle contractions. When a muscle exerts too much tension, these organs send signals to the central nervous system to help protect the muscle and tendon from injury. These receptors are part of the body's proprioceptive system, which helps maintain balance and coordination. By providing feedback about muscle tension, Golgi Tendon Organs contribute to the overall control of movement, allowing for smooth and safe physical activity.
