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.

Are thermoreceptors a type of mechanoreceptors?

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

How does the mechanoreceptor reflex effect breathing?

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.
