5 November 2008. Mechanoreceptors detect stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and sound from the external and internal environments. They contain primary sensory neurons that respond to changes in mechanical displacement, usually in a localized region at the tip of a sensory dendrite.
Stimuli are signals that trigger the senses. Receptors detect the stimuli and neurons send the signals to the brain where they're interpreted. Each sense organ includes receptors that capture relevant stimuli for transmission to the brain. The receptors in the skin are mechanoreceptors and thermoreceptors.
