Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mechanoreceptors detect ____
A
Light stimuli
B
Pressure changes
C
Chemical substances
D
Temperature changes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The variety of tactile mechanoreceptors within the skin allow for differential detection of touch and vibrational stimuli that permit detection of benign or harmful pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mechanoreceptors detect stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and sound from the external and internal environments. They contain primary sensory neurons that respond to changes in mechanical displacement, usually in a localized region at the tip of a sensory dendrite.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cutaneous mechanoreceptors. Cutaneous mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli that result from physical interaction, including pressure and vibration. They are located in the skin, like other cutaneous receptors.

Detailed explanation-4: -[8] Mechanoreceptors respond to physical changes including touch, pressure, vibration, and stretch.

Detailed explanation-5: -Coronary arterial mechanoreceptors probably function like the aortic and carotid sinus baroreceptors in that they detect changes in arterial blood pressure and bring about responses that tend to restore it to normal.
