mechanoreceptors

Preferred Label : mechanoreceptors;

MeSH definition : Cells specialized to transduce mechanical stimuli and relay that information centrally in the nervous system. Mechanoreceptor cells include the INNER EAR hair cells, which mediate hearing and balance, and the various somatosensory receptors, often with non-neural accessory structures.;

MeSH synonym : Mechanoreceptor Cells; Cell, Mechanoreceptor; Cells, Mechanoreceptor; Mechanoreceptor Cell; mechanoreceptor;
