Which Statement About Mechanoreceptors Is False

Which statement about mechanoreceptors is false?

A) They transduce mechanical forces into changes in receptor potential.
B) If a mechanoreceptor is subject to increased distortion, more ion channels within its membrane open.
C) If the receptor potential of a mechanoreceptor rises, neurotransmitter may be released.
D) A physical force that disturbs the membrane of a mechanoreceptor causes anion channels to open.
E) The strength of the stimulus to the mechanoreceptor is reflected in the rate of action potentials generated or the amount of neurotransmitter released.
