### Muscle Contraction and Tendon ProtectionWhen a skeletal muscle is stimulated to contract, the force generated by the muscle can potentially damage the tendon that is connected to it. To prevent such damage, there are sensory receptors in the tendons that can inhibit the muscle from generating excessive force. These sensory receptors are known as:- Gamma efferents- Golgi tendon organs- Muscle spindles- Proprioceptors

Muscles are soft tissue that contains a protein filament called the myofilament of actin and myosin.…

When a skeletal muscle is stimulated to contract, the force generated by the muscle can damage the tendon connected to the muscle. The sensory receptors in the tendons that are able to inhibit the muscle from generating excessive force are the: O gamma efferents O Golgi tendon organs O musele spindles O proprioceptors

When curare, a neuromuscular poison, is dropped onto an isolated muscle-nerve preparation in a laboratory, the muscle does not contract when the nerve is stimulated, even though neurotransmitter is released from the nerve cell.
