Receptors that transduce when the plasma membrane becomes more permeable to positive ions as it changes shape are called

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stress or changes in pressure that cause ion channels in the plasma membrane to open, allowing positive ions to enter the cell and depolarize it, thereby triggering an action potential. Pain receptors (A) respond to tissue damage or injury, thermoreceptors (B) respond to changes in temperature, and chemoreceptors (D) respond to changes in chemical concentration.
