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.
Sensory receptors code four aspects of a stimulus: modality (or type), intensity, location, and duration. Cutaneous touch receptors and muscle spindle receptors are both mechanoreceptors, but they differ in location. Key Terms. cutaneous touch receptor: A type of sensory receptor found in the dermis or epidermis of the skin. muscle spindle: Sensory receptors within the belly of a muscle that primarily detect changes in the length of this muscle.
