Mechanoreceptorok
Mechanoreceptorok are specialized sensory nerve endings responsible for detecting mechanical stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and stretch within the body. These receptor cells are integral to the somatosensory system, allowing organisms to perceive and respond to their external and internal environments.
Located throughout the skin, muscles, tendons, and internal organs, mechanoreceptors translate mechanical forces into electrical signals
Common types of mechanoreceptors include Meissner's corpuscles, which are sensitive to light touch and low-frequency vibration;
Mechanoreceptors play vital roles in tactile perception, proprioception, and maintaining body posture. Their functioning can be
Overall, mechanoreceptors are essential components of the sensory system, enabling organisms to interpret mechanical cues from
