What else can I help you with?
Is touch detected by mechanoreceptors?
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.
Mechanoreceptors might detect what?
Pressure....
Neurons dectecting stimuli in the skin and eyes are?
In the skin, neurons that detect stimuli are called mechanoreceptors for touch, nociceptors for pain, and thermoreceptors for temperature. In the eyes, neurons that detect light stimuli are called photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones located in the retina.
What receptors are stimulated when their hairs are bent?
Mechanoreceptors
Which type of stimulus do mechanoreceptors detect?
Sound
Where is mechanoreceptors mostly found in?
Bacterial flagella.
Does the organ of Corti contain mechanoreceptors?
yes
Are receptor that can respond to changes in pressure?
Mechanoreceptors
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?
Touch, hearing, and balance
Name 6 different external stimuli that can be received by sense receptors?
Light - Received by photoreceptors in the eyes. Sound - Received by mechanoreceptors in the ears. Touch - Received by mechanoreceptors in the skin. Taste - Received by chemoreceptors on the taste buds. Smell - Received by chemoreceptors in the nasal cavity. Temperature - Received by thermoreceptors in the skin.
