Questions and Answers

What happens when a muscle is stretched quickly?

  • Muscle spindle contracts and tension in muscle increases (correct)
  • Sarcomeres can be lengthened slowly
  • Connective tissue elongates rapidly
  • GTO fires and inhibits muscular contraction

    • What is the role of Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) when muscle is stretched slowly?

  • Inhibits muscular contraction and tension (correct)
  • Shortens the sarcomeres
  • Contracts the muscle
  • Increases tension in the muscle

  • Muscle spindle
  • Elastin fibers
  • Sarcomeres
