Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The sensory receptors involved in hearing are mechanoreceptors. Mechanoreceptors are specialized cells that respond to mechanical stimuli like pressure or vibrations. In the case of hearing, these mechanoreceptors are called hair cells, which are located in the cochlea of the inner ear. When sound waves enter the ear, they cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations then pass through the middle ear and reach the cochlea where the hair cells convert the mechanical energy of the sound waves into electrical signals. These electrical signals are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve, allowing us to perceive and interpret sound. Therefore, the correct answer is "mechanoreceptors."
