Mechanoreceptors sense mechanical deformation of the skin.
机械感受器会检测并记录皮肤机械变形的情况。
Just as the ear's mechanoreceptors or the tongue's chemoreceptors convert sounds and chemicals into action potentials, so too do your eyes' photoreceptors convert light energy into nerve impulses that the brain can understand.
就像耳朵的机械感受器或舌头的化学感受器将声音和化学物质转化为动作电位一样,眼睛的光感受器也将光能转化为大脑可以理解的神经脉冲。
Our vision functions with the help of photoreceptors, cells that detect light waves, while our senses of touch, hearing, and balance use mechanoreceptors that detect sound waves and pressure on the skin and in the inner ear.
我们的视觉是在光感受器的帮助下运作的,光感受器是探测光波的细胞,而我们的触觉、听觉和平衡感使用机械感受器来探测声波和皮肤和内耳的压力。
