| Name: | auditory receptor cell |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | auditory hair cell, auditory receptor cells |
| Definition: | A mechanoreceptor cell located in the inner ear that is sensitive to auditory stimuli. The accessory sensory structures are arranged so that appropriate stimuli cause movement of the hair-like projections (stereocilia and kinocilia) which relay the information centrally in the nervous system. |

|---|---|
| Synonyms: | P2 receptor signaling pathway, purinergic nucleotide receptor signalling pathway, purinergic receptor signaling pathway, purinergic receptor signalling pathway, purinoceptor signaling pathway |
| Definition: | The series of molecular signals initiated by an extracellular purine nucleotide binding to its receptor, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. |
