any of the sense organs that respond to vibration, stretching, pressure, or other mechanical stimuli.
We and other animals have several types of receptors of mechanical stimuli. These last functions are carried out by the inner ear.
no just sight and smell are detected by mechanoreceptors
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.

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.
