mechanoreceptor

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and mechanoreceptor

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while mechanoreceptor is (biology) any receptor that provides an organism with information about mechanical changes in its environment, such as movement, tension and pressure.

As nouns the difference between mechanoreceptor and dysafferentation

is that mechanoreceptor is any receptor that provides an organism with information about mechanical changes in its environment, such as movement, tension and pressure while dysafferentation is abnormal afferent input as a result of joint restriction that involves a functional decrease in the activity of large diameter mechanoreceptor afferent fibers and a simultaneous functional increases in the activity of nociceptive afferent nerve fibers.

Mechanosensation is a related term of mechanoreceptor.

In biology terms the difference between mechanoreceptor and mechanosensation

is that mechanoreceptor is any receptor that provides an organism with information about mechanical changes in its environment, such as movement, tension and pressure while mechanosensation is the physiological response to a mechanical stimulus.
