Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanoreceptors are specialized cells in the skin and other tissues of the body that detect mechanical pressure, such as the waves of pressure you feel while swimming. These receptors respond to changes in pressure, tension, and movement, and send signals to the brain that are processed into sensations such as touch and vibration. Photoreceptors, thermoreceptors, pain receptors, and chemoreceptors are other types of sensory receptors that detect light, temperature, pain, and chemicals, respectively, but are not involved in detecting the waves of pressure in a swimming pool.
