The stimulation of a mechanoreceptor causes mechanically sensitive ion channels to open and produce a transduction current that changes the membrane potential of the cell. [10] Typically the mechanical stimulus gets filtered in the conveying medium before reaching the site of mechanotransduction. [11]
In physiology, a stimulus [1] is a change in a living thing's internal or external environment. This change can be detected by an organism or organ using sensitivity, and leads to a physiological reaction. [ 2 ]
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.
Artificial muscles, also known as muscle-like actuators, are materials or devices that mimic natural muscle and can change their stiffness, reversibly contract, expand, or rotate within one component due to an external stimulus (such as voltage, current, pressure or temperature). [1]

Stretch-activated ion channels are required for the initial formation of an action potential from a mechanical stimulus, for example by the mechanoreceptors in vibrissae (whiskers) of some animals such as rodents. Afferent nerve fibers responsible for sensory stimulus detection and feedback are especially sensitive to stimulation.
For asynchronous muscles, neural inputs are typically thought of as an "on-off" switch while mechanical stimulus leads to individual muscle contractions. However, recent studies using genetically engineered Drosophila revealed correlations between [Ca 2+] and force production. [5] Further work has shown bilateral calcium asymmetries in ...
Mechanosensation is the transduction of mechanical stimuli into neural signals. Mechanosensation provides the basis for the senses of light touch, hearing, proprioception , and pain. Mechanoreceptors found in the skin, called cutaneous mechanoreceptors, are responsible for the sense of touch.
