Mechanoreceptor: Vertebrate mechanoreceptors, Overview & Invertebrate mechanoreceptors

A mechanoreceptor, also called mechanoceptor, is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion. Mechanoreceptors are located on sensory neurons that convert mechanical pressure into electrical signals that, in animals, are sent to the central nervous system.
