Golgi tendon organ (medicine)


Golgi tendon organ
<cell biology, physiology> A proprioceptive sensory nerve ending embedded among the fibres of a tendon, often near the musculotendinous junction; it is compressed and activated by any increase of the tendon's tension, caused either by active contraction or passive stretch of the corresponding muscle.

Synonym: neurotendinous organ, neurotendinous spindle.
