All of the following are TRUE about inverse stretch reflex, EXCEPT:
Inverse stretch reflex or autogenic inhibiton is one in which when the tension in the muscle becomes very high there is sudden relaxation of the muscle. This inhibitory negative feedback lengthening reaction protects tearing of muscle or avulsion of tendon. Golgi tendon organ detects the muscle tension and is responsible for this reflex. Ref: Ganong's, Review of Medical physiology, 22 Edition, Page 134.
Golgi tendon is the receptor organ
Autogenic excitatory negative feedback lengthening reaction
Protects against muscle tear
Sudden relaxation of muscle to high tension
