tactile receptor
If we are to based it in the function of a testosterone inside a cell, it does not act as a signal receptor. Testosterone function is to bind a receptor protein that go into the nucleus and to activate a particular gene.
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
In the membrane of olfactory receptor neurons, passive channels such as cyclic nucleotide-gated channels and calcium-activated chloride channels are commonly found. These channels play a role in odorant detection by allowing ions like Na+ and Ca2+ to flow into the cell in response to odorant binding, which triggers the neuronal signal cascade.
to detect stimulus
i knw all about is ntg
It is a light touch receptor.
Functions as a sensory receptor for touch.
Membrane receptors at a synapse are ligand-gated ion channels that open and allow sodium ions to flow into the neuron upon binding of the neurotransmitter ligand to generate an action potential in the neuron.
the inner ear
Receptor proteins are used to pass messages between cells. They send the messages from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
The cochlea contains hearing receptor cells called hair cells. These cells convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve for processing.
