Reciprocal vs. Autogenic Inhibition Explained | Golgi Tendon Organ and Muscle Spindle Physiology

Golgi Tendon Organ produces Autogenic Inhibition- inhibits the same muscle that is sensing tension

Muscle Spindles produce Reciprocal Inhibition (Inhibits the antagonist and facilitates the agonist)

Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO)
Senses activation (via tension in the tendon)

Golgi Tendon Organ produces Autogenic Inhibition- inhibits the same muscle that is sensing tension

Autogenic Inhibition leads to Decreased Agonist Force Production

Muscle Spindles:
Turns ON the agonist
Turns OFF the antagonist

Muscle Spindles produce Reciprocal Inhibition

Muscle Spindle Reflexes: Quick stretch of the muscle causes muscle spindle activation leading to activation of the agonist and inhibition of the antagonist.

Overall Muscle Spindles are great for sensing quick stretch
