cell membrane
Voltage-gated ion channels, such as voltage-gated sodium channels and voltage-gated potassium channels, are commonly found in the membrane of axons. These channels play a crucial role in the generation and propagation of action potentials along the length of the axon.
Proteins such as ion channels embedded in the cell membrane function as gateways for specific ions to enter or exit the cell. These ion channels can be voltage-gated, ligand-gated, or mechanically-gated, regulating the flow of ions in response to changes in membrane potential, binding of specific molecules, or mechanical stimuli, respectively.
ligand-gated or voltage-gated ion channels.
Voltage-gated channels are activated by changes in membrane potential, while ligand-gated channels are activated by binding of specific molecules (ligands). Voltage-gated channels open in response to changes in electrical charge across the membrane, whereas ligand-gated channels open when a specific ligand binds to the channel. Additionally, voltage-gated channels are regulated by changes in membrane potential, while ligand-gated channels are regulated by the presence or absence of specific ligands.
Ligand-gated channels are activated by binding of specific molecules (ligands) to the channel, while voltage-gated channels are activated by changes in the electrical potential across the cell membrane. Ligand-gated channels are regulated by the presence of ligands, while voltage-gated channels are regulated by changes in membrane potential.
Graded potentials are generated by ligand-gated channels and mechanically-gated channels. Ligand-gated channels open in response to chemical signals, while mechanically-gated channels open in response to physical stimuli such as pressure or touch. Both types of channels allow ions to flow across the membrane, leading to changes in membrane potential.

There are voltage-gated ion channels and ligand-gated ion channels, and since both are stimuli the term stimulus-gated is a redundancy.
Touch stimulation of this sensory receptor will open the mechanically gated ion channels, but action potentials are still not initiated because propagation of an action potential requires the opening of voltage-gated Na+ channels
