    Mechanoreceptors Response to Stimuli

    • Mechanoreceptors most adequately respond to mechanical stimuli, such as pressure, vibration, and stretching.
    • Mechanoreceptors respond to stimuli by converting mechanical energy into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the nervous system.
    • The primary effect of stimuli on mechanoreceptors is the activation of sensory nerve endings, leading to the transmission of sensory information to the brain.
