Mechanoreceptors
Mechanoreceptors
Transduction usually begins when a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, such as light or pressure. The receptor then translates this stimulus into an electrical signal that can be interpreted by the nervous system.
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
A specialized area of sensory neuron that detects a specific stimulus is called a sensory receptor. These receptors are designed to respond to specific forms of stimulation, such as touch, light, or sound, and convert the energy from these stimuli into electrical signals that the nervous system can interpret.
Sensory cells detect external stimuli such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. These cells are specialized in converting the energy from these stimuli into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
Mechanoreceptors
The Pacinian corpuscle responds to "mechanical" pressure i.e. touch.
I recently studied this.. Of the top of my head, I think it is pressure and pain receptors!?

receptor
the answer is Receptor . :D
Muscle Spindle
Receptor/Sensor-Recognition of the factor.
Receptor
No, a reflex arc begins with a receptor that detects a stimulus and sends a signal through a sensory nerve to the central nervous system.
The receptor cell that detects the presence or absence of light and allows us to see dim light is called a rod cell. Rod cells are responsible for low-light vision and are located in the retina of the eye.
