Mechanoreceptors - Mechanoreceptors are stimulated by mechanical compression or stretch at the receptor or surrounding tissues. - Found in skin for sensing contact with physical world. -Found in bladder, blood vessels, heart, digestive .organs, and teeth to sense pressure - Mechanoreceptors are innervated by myelineated axons.
Mechanoreceptors :Receptors can be classified according to the type of stimulus into 1-Tocuhreceptorsin the skin which are stimulated by light mechanical stimuli. 2-Pressurereceptorsin the subcutaneous tissues which are stimulated by deep mechanical stimuli. 3-Stretch receptors in the skeletal muscles, lungs, right atrium, urinary bladder, stomach, intestine and rectum. 4-Joint receptors which send information about the position and movement of the of the joint. 5- Auditory receptors which are stimulated by sound waves
