Mechanoreception
Mechanoreception
Mechanoreceptors are sensitive to quantitative forces such as touch, pressure, stretching, sound, vibration, and gravity—in short, they respond to motion. To interact with their environments, feed themselves, maintain normal postures, and to walk, swim, or fly, animals require a steady flow of information from mechanoreceptors.
