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 can be divided into a range of different types or MODALITIES. Receptors normally respond to only one type of stimuli (or sensory modality), and that type of sensory modality is called the adequate stimulus for a particular type of stimulus.For example, the adequate stimulus for the eyes photoreceptors (rods and cones) is light and not touch (mechanical stimuli).) different sensory receptors adapt at different rates: touch and pressure receptors vs. pain receptors and certain proprioceptors. 3) different adaptation rates of receptors determines the nature of the information provided to the CNS. The receptors important for movement are mostly somatosensory receptors.
