Question

the response to signals from golgi tendon organs is to ____________. a decrease the degree of muscle contraction b decrease the degree of muscle relaxation c increase the degree of muscle contraction d none apply.

Explanation:

Golgi tendon organs are sensory receptors that detect muscle - tendon tension. When they are activated by high tension, they send signals to the central nervous system which results in a decrease in the degree of muscle contraction to prevent damage.

Answer:

A. decrease the degree of muscle contraction
