Yes, the helix of the ear contains mechanoreceptors called hair cells that are responsible for detecting mechanical vibrations and converting them into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
No it is not type of mechanoreceptor, the only type of mechanoreceptor is cutaneous mechanoreceptor...(i think so)But there are types of mechanoreceptor according to morphology... ruffinis end organ, meissner's corpuscle, pacinian corpuscle, merkel's disc, mechanorecepting free nerve endings and hair follicle receptor... that' all
Mechanoreceptor
The mechanoreceptor reflex is composed of the inflation reflex and the deflation reflex. The inflation reflex limits the duration of inspiration in response to stretching the walls of the lungs. The deflation reflex stimulates inspiration when the lungs are collapsed. Mechanoreceptor reflexes are insignificant during quiet respiration but they are very important during forced respiration. The mechanoreceptor reflex makes sure your brain knows when to stop breathing and start breathing, basically.
Double Helix :D
The sense of hearing can be classified as a mechanoreceptor because it detects mechanical stimuli in the form of sound waves. Proprioceptors detect changes in muscle length and tension, while thermoceptors respond to temperature changes, and photoreceptors detect light.
Mechanoreceptor
A stretch receptors is classified as a mechanoreceptor.

You could not tell if someone was touching your hand
