An example of a mechanically gated channel is when a channel opens as a result of is physical distortion of the cell membrane.
Many channels associated with the sense of touch are mechanically-gated. For example, as pressure is applied to the skin, mechanically-gated channels on the subcutaneous receptors open and allow ions to enter.
Mechanically-gated channels open in response to physical deformation of the receptor, as in sensory receptors of touch and pressure.
For example, mechanically gated ion channels are also found in the stereocilia of the inner ear, sound waves can also stimulate such channels.
