Physiology

Golgi tendon organ

A small oval to fusiform encapsulated sensory receptor embedded within a short tendon-like bundle of parallel collagen fibers. The organ has a thin, pale capsule, often tapered at both ends, with off-white to ivory or pale yellow collagen strands running longitudinally through the capsule. Fine branching yellow sensory nerve endings arborize and weave among the internal collagen bundles. Overall appearance is compact, spindle-shaped to elongated oval, in pale cream, beige, and yellow tones.
