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.
Cutaneous mechanoreceptors respond to pressure sensations on the skin and include Merkel's corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, and bulboid corpuscles. Receptors that detect temperature are made up of free nerve endings on the skin and are called thermoreceptors.Pain receptors on the skin are also free nerve endings called nociceptors. Cutaneous mechanoreceptors are probably the first type of skin receptors that come to mind for most people.kin receptors that detect temperature are called thermoreceptors. These receptors respond to temperatures directly applied to the skin, such as a burn or an ice cube, as well as overall environmental changes in temperature.
