Example sentences for: mechanoreceptors

How can you use “mechanoreceptors” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • This is supported by intra-axonal recording of 1° muscle spindles demonstrating increased discharge with inspiration during tidal breathing in the cat [ 3 ] . While it is known that intercostal mechanoreceptors are sensitive to muscle motion, the specific afferent response to independently controlled changes in muscle displacement and velocity over the tidal volume range of rib motion is unknown.

  • 2° muscle spindles were found to have the lowest velocity sensitivity of the three types of mechanoreceptors studied.

  • The response of the mechanoreceptors to graded displacement of the ICS was determined by measuring the frequency of discharge at two different points during the applied stretch.

  • While the absolute sensitivity to fiber displacement may be underestimated for the mechanoreceptors recorded in this study, the above results do provide important quantification of the sensitivity of intercostal mechanoreceptors to changes in the functional displacement of the intercostal space.

  • Intercostal muscle mechanoreceptors are distributed throughout the intercostals muscle with afferent nerve fibers distributed throughout all the dorsal rootlets.
