Review Equilibrium. Which statement is true about receptors? O They are called hair cells. O They are mechanoreceptors. O all of these O They conduct acceleration transduction when stereocilia move toward or away from the tallest stereocilia. O They are found in semicircular canals and otolith organs (saccule and utricle).

Hari Krishna N.
What do the receptor cells in the lateral line system along the sides of a shark and the cochlea of your ear have in common? a. They use hair cells to sense sound or pressure waves. b. They are organs of equilibrium. c. They use electromagnetic receptors to sense pressure waves in fluid. d. They use granules that signal a change in position and stimulate their receptor cells.
