They also speculate that the less flexible and stiffer a muscle is, the higher the mechanical stimulus created.

他们还推测，肌肉越不灵活和越僵硬，产生的机械刺激就越高。

But how we experience our six major special senses all boils down to one thing: sensory cells translating chemical, electromagnetic, and mechanical stimuli into action potentials that our nervous system can make sense of.

但是我们如何体验我们的六种主要特殊感官都归结为一件事：感觉细胞将化学、电磁和机械刺激转化为我们神经系统可以理解的动作电位。

The supervisors of this process are those osteocytes, which kick things off when they sense stress and strain, or respond to mechanical stimuli, like the weightlessness of space, or the impact of running on pavement.

这个过程的监督者是那些骨细胞，当它们感觉到压力和应变时，它们会启动东西，或者对机械刺激做出反应，比如太空的失重，或者在人行道上跑步的影响。
