Question
Chapter 30, Problem 1.9A
Summary Introduction
To fill:
The correct term in the given blank.
Introduction:
Mechanoreceptor can be defined as a cell or sense organ which responds to the mechanical stimuli (such as sound or touch). Sense organs are those organs which responds to the exterior stimuli by the transmission of impulses to the sensory nervous system.
