no just sight and smell are detected by mechanoreceptors
Where are the mechanoreceptors of hearing and balance located?
The mechanoreceptors for hearing are located in the cochlea of the inner ear. The mechanoreceptors for balance are found in the vestibular system of the inner ear, which includes the semicircular canals and otolithic organs.
Do eyes have mechanoreceptors?
yes
Mechanoreceptors might detect what?
Pressure....
Does the organ of Corti contain mechanoreceptors?
yes
What receptors are stimulated when their hairs are bent?
Mechanoreceptors
Which type of stimulus do mechanoreceptors detect?
Sound
Are receptor that can respond to changes in pressure?
Mechanoreceptors
Where is mechanoreceptors mostly found in?
Bacterial flagella.
What mechanoreceptors is function?
Mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors that respond to mechanical pressure or distortion. They are responsible for detecting sensations like touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception. Examples of mechanoreceptors include Merkel cells, Meissner's corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, and hair cells in the inner ear.
What needs mechanoreceptors to function?
