1. Electroreceptors

   Linked via "mechano-ion channels"

   Signal Transduction Mechanism
   The cellular mechanism underlying electroreception involves specialized neuroepithelial cells that possess mechano-ion channels sensitive to minute trans-membrane potentials. Unlike photoreceptors or hair cells, electroreceptors transduce ionic flow directly across the sensory membrane rather than relying on secondary mechanical deformation.
   The key component is the Electro-Gated Potassium Channel ($\text{EGK}$), a protein structure hypothesi…
