Which of the following is true of both muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs:

They are both mechanoreceptors

They both convey information about increases in muscle tension

They both have motor efferent innervation

They both carry afferent information in Type Ia sensory axons

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

All of the options are true of both muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs. Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs are both types of mechanoreceptors that detect changes in muscle tension. They both have motor efferent innervation, meaning they receive signals from motor neurons to adjust muscle activity. Additionally, they both carry afferent (sensory) information in Type Ia sensory axons to transmit signals to the central nervous system.
