Mechanoreceptors include

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanoreceptors are specialized cells that respond to mechanical force or distortion, and there are several types found in the body. Two examples of mechanoreceptors are hair cells in the cochlea (which respond to sound waves) and hair cells in the ampulae of the semicircular canals (which respond to changes in head position and movement). The olfactory mucosa contains chemoreceptors, which respond to chemicals, but not mechanoreceptors. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which includes only the two options that are mechanoreceptors.
