in decks ;
muscle spindle detect change in length .... and in another deck it detect length and tension...
i believe it is length alone as golgi tendon detect tension and both have opposite action regarding to the stimulus..
what do u think???

Yes, I made a note of this as well from Decks. Muscle spindle is sensitive to changes in both length and tension.
Golgi tendon is sensitive to -> tension
You are right, they both act on the motor neuron, one causes contraction, the other relaxation.
If a questions is specifically asked about tension, golgi tendon w'd be the answer to choose.
