Don't miss anything!
Due to Stretch Reflex harder a muscle is stretched the stronger is the Reflex Contraction.
This is seen upto a certain limit.
With further increase in stretch, contraction suddenly comes to an end & muscle relaxes.
This relaxation in response to strong stretch is called Inverse Stretch Reflex or Auto Inhibition
Receptors Golgi Tendon Organs
STRUCTURE Encapsulated sensory receptors at Musculo-tendon Junctions in SERIES with Muscle fibers. PATHWAY
Afferent from GTO Ib fibers. These fibers terminate in spinal cord on inhibititory interneuron which terminate on Motor neuron supplying same muscle.
This leads to production of IPSPs on agonists, motor neurons hence cause RELAXATION of muscle.
