Answer:

No, there are many other methods except for passive transport by which molecules can move inside a cell. Some of these are:

Active transport: Active transport is the movement of molecules from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.

Facilitated diffusion: Facilitated diffusion can be described as the movement of molecule via proteins like carrier proteins. The movement of facilitated diffusion is passive mostly, but sometimes it can be active too.

<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>
