Mechanoreceptors maintain:
Correct answer: A. Equilibrium
- A. Equilibrium
- B. Short supply of minerals in soil
- C. Pain
- D. Ridges of fingertips
Explanation
Mechanoreceptors are indeed involved in maintaining equilibrium, particularly through their role in the vestibular system of the inner ear. This system includes mechanoreceptors that detect changes in head position and movement, providing crucial information for balance and spatial orientation. So, mechanoreceptors are directly related to the maintenance of equilibrium.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
