A receptor that contains many mechanically-gated ion channels would function BEST as a tactile receptor.

Mechanoreceptors contains mechanically-gated ion channels. The mechanically-gated ion channels would function as a all proprioceptor, barorecetor, and tactile receptor.

Mechanoreceptors:

These are the somatosensory receptors, that activates by the physical instabilities in the plasma membrane. They contains mechanically-gated ion channels.  

  • They open or close by the pressure, touch, wave or movement stimuli.
  • For example- Merkel’s disks, Meissner’s corpuscles, and Ruffini endings.

Therefore, the mechanically-gated ion channels would function as a all proprioceptor, barorecetor, and tactile receptor.
