Explanation:

Golgi tendon organs detect muscle - tendon tension and help prevent over - stretching and tearing by inhibiting muscle contraction when tension is too high. Muscle spindles detect muscle length and rate of change of length. Meissner's corpuscles are for light touch and vibration. Free nerve endings are for pain, temperature, etc.

Golgi tendon organs
