Mechanosensation is a response mechanism to mechanical stimuli.

The hair bundle motor is the force generated from a mechanical stimulus.

These classifications are based on their responses to mechanical stimuli.

Cilia were stunted and treated cells lacked the ability to increase calcium influx in response to mechanical stimuli.

All organisms, and apparently all cell types, sense and respond to mechanical stimuli.

Biological signaling events initiate re-growth at the site, while mechanical stimuli further promote rebuilding.

Mechanoreceptors are primary neurons that respond to mechanical stimuli by firing action potentials.

It is thought that this tonic release is what allows the hair cells to respond so quickly in response to mechanical stimuli.

Mechanotransduction refers to the many mechanisms by which cells convert mechanical stimulus into chemical activity.

All types of stretch-activated ion channels respond to mechanical stimuli with a similar mechanism.
