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

### Muscle Contraction and Tendon Protection

When 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
