This review summarizes the structural and functional mechanisms of the Golgi tendon organ in proprioception and muscle regulation.
This article presents current information concerning (a) the structural relationships of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) with different types of extrafusal muscle fibers; (b) the Gp.Ib reafferent or feedback fibers from the GTO; (c) the way in which these proprioceptors monitor muscle tension and function in parallel processing with other receptors and with the central control mechanisms of the nervous system; and (d) how GTO's are involved in regulating autogenic excitation, autogenic inhibition, or co-contraction of extrafusal muscle fibers.
