What is the process that results from the Golgi tendon organs inhibiting the muscle spindle’s action?
  1. Muscle contraction
  2. Autogenic inhibition
  3. Internal rotation
  4. Neuromuscular imbalance
Explanation
Answer: B - The process that results from the Golgi tendon organs inhibiting the muscle spindle’s action is autogenic inhibition. This occurs during stretching, when the stretch is maintained for 20 or more seconds, and the Golgi tendon organ overrides the muscle spindle’s function, causing the muscle to relax.
