Question

____detect changes in pressure and convert this stimulus energy into ____.​
A) ​Thermoreceptors; action potentials
B) ​Mechanoreceptors; action potentials
C) ​Chemoreceptors; resting potentials
D) ​Photoreceptors; resting potentials
E) ​Osmoreceptors; threshold potentials

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanoreceptors are specialized sensory receptors that respond to mechanical pressure or distortion. When they detect changes in pressure, they convert this stimulus energy into action potentials, which are the electrical signals used by the nervous system to communicate information.
