Question

which three of these senses rely on mechanoreceptors?
a. sight
b. touch
c. hearing
d. balance

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli (like pressure, vibration, movement). Touch relies on mechanoreceptors in the skin. Hearing uses them in the inner ear (for sound - induced vibrations). Balance (vestibular sense) uses mechanoreceptors in the inner ear to detect head movements/position. Sight relies on photoreceptors (respond to light), not mechanoreceptors.

Answer:

B. Touch, C. Hearing, D. Balance
