Responsive to mechanical stimuli.
1959Nature 20 June 1726/2 The receptor membrane of a mechano-sensitive nerve ending resembles..the postsynaptic membrane of skeletal muscle. 1976Pain II. 5 The remaining 11 units could, in addition, be excited by sensitive cutaneous mechanosensitive afferent units. 1990Biophysical Jrnl. Feb. 320a/1 The activities of the large-conductance mechanosensitive channel reported in wild-type E. coli spheroplasts..were studied in excised inside-out patches from these mutant cells.

1976Jrnl. Physiol. CCLVI. 551 The mechanosensitivity of this afferent pathway can be modulated by noradrenergic hormones. 1978Nature 1 June 377/2 In the analogous lateral line organ of submammalian species, the mechanosensitivity of the hair cells is related directly to the external calcium concentration at their specialised receptor poles. |
