High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mechanotransduction refers to the many mechanisms by which cells convert mechanical stimulus into chemical activity. Mechanotransduction is responsible for a number of senses and physiological processes in the body, including proprioception, touch, balance, and hearing. The basic mechanism of mechanotransduction involves converting mechanical signals into electrical or chemical signals. In this process, a mechanically gated ion channel makes it possible for sound, pressure, or movement to cause a change in the excitability of specialized sensory cells and sensory neurons. The stimulation of a mechanoreceptor causes mechanically sensitive ion channels to open and produce a transduction current that changes the membrane potential of the cell. Cellular responses to mechanotransduction are variable and give rise to a variety of changes and sensations.
