Solution

The answer is:

  • Muscle spindles
  • Golgi tendon organs

Explanation for each option:

  1. Muscle spindles: Correct. Muscle spindles are sensory receptors within the muscle that primarily detect changes in the length of the muscle. They are crucial for the stretch reflex and help maintain muscle tone.

  2. Golgi tendon organs: Correct. Golgi tendon organs are sensory receptors located at the junction of muscles and tendons. They detect changes in muscle tension and help prevent muscle damage from excessive force.

  3. Lamellated corpuscles: Incorrect. Lamellated corpuscles, also known as Pacinian corpuscles, are mechanoreceptors that detect deep pressure and vibration, not stretch.

  4. Tactile corpuscles: Incorrect. Tactile corpuscles, also known as Meissner's corpuscles, are mechanoreceptors that detect light touch and texture, not stretch.

Summary: Stretch receptors include muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs. Lamellated corpuscles and tactile corpuscles are not involved in detecting stretch.
