Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors that respond to mechanical stimuli such as pressure, a change in position, or acceleration. This includes receptors in the skin that respond to touch and vibration, as well as receptors in muscles and joints that sense changes in body position and movement. They are not sensitive to tissue damage, temperature change, chemical energy of specific substances, or light.
