Question

Which receptors are responsible for touch, pressure, hearing, and equilibrium?

Select one:
a. photoreceptors
b. thermoreceptors
c. chemoreceptors
d. mechanoreceptors

Answer 1

mechanoreceptors

Step-by-step explanation:

mechanoreceptors are responsible for touch, pressure, hearing, and equilibrium.

Answer 2

Mechanoreceptors

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanoreceptor is a type of sensory receptor that responds against the mechanical pressure. These receptors are present on the hair, skin and tactile corpuscles.

Mechanoreceptors may responds against the change in pressure, detects different sounds (hearing), touch and can sense the equillibrium. These receptors transfer the mechanical information into electrical signals. Mechanoreceptors contain sensory neurons that can respond towards the external stimuli.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
