00:01 Hello students, the answer and correct option to the given question is golgi tendon reflex.
00:06 It is an inhibitory effect on the muscle resulting from the muscle tension which stimulate golgi tendon organs of the muscle and hence it is self -induced.
00:18 The reflex arc is a negative feedback mechanism which prevent too much tension on the muscles and tendons.
00:25 When the tension is extreme, the inhibition can be so great, it overcomes the excitatory effect on the muscles ' alpha -motor neurons which cause the muscles to suddenly relax.
00:38 This reflex is also called as inverse myotactic reflex because it is the inverse of the stretch reflex...
