Within each tendon one finds a stretch receptor. The latter can be stimulated by tapping the tendon with a rubber mallet, whereupon the associated muscle contracts slightly. This simple reflex forms ...
Autogenic inhibition is a neuromuscular reflex that results in a reduction in muscle activity following an excessive or sustained increase in tension and stimulation of Golgi tendon organs (GTO). If ...
A DIRECT muscular contraction by an electrical stimulation (tib. ant., gastroc., biceps femoris, rectus femoris) in an unanæsthetized rabbit produces an overall reaction in the muscles of the ...
