Solution
The correct option is A Mechanoreceptors
- A receptor is a protein molecule usually found embedded in the plasma membrane surface of the cell that receives chemical signals from outside the cell and when such chemical signals bind to the receptor, They cause some form of cellular or tissue response.
- There are four main types of receptors: mechanoreceptors(touch and pressure), thermoreceptors(heat), pain receptors(pain), and proprioceptors(position and movement).
- Hence Receptors to both touch and pressure are called as Mechanoreceptors.
- So, the correct answer is 'Mechanoreceptors'.
