Summary Introduction
To determine:
The three types of mechanoreceptors respond to stretching, compression, twisting, or other distortions of their plasma membrane
Introduction:
The mechanically gated ion channels present in some membranes can show response to stretching, compression, twisting, or other distortions of the membrane known as mechanoreceptors.
The three types of mechanoreceptors are: Tactile receptors, Baroreceptors, and Proprioceptors.
