Is the basilar membrane receive sound waves via air?
I think basilar membrane is the receptors for sounds stimuli.
What Forms the floor of the cochlea?
Basilar membrane
What is the length of the basilar membrane?
About 3.5 cm
In the ear the basilar membrane and hair cells are found in the?
In a part of the inner ear called the cochlea (snail-like).
What causes the cochlea to vibrate?
The inner ear is a snail-shaped structure called the cochlea, which is filled with fluid. When the oval window vibrates, it causes the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate. This fluid surrounds a membrane running through the middle of the cochlea called the basilar membrane. The answer of your question is the Basilar Membrane.
Gel-like membrane overlying the hair cells of the organ of Corti?
tectorial membrane

What is the bottom structure of the Corti organ?
The bottom structure of the Corti organ is the basilar membrane
What is the function of organ of corti?
the organ of corti is found inside the cochlea in the middle ear. in the organ of corti are hair cells which pick up vibrations. these vibrations are what is processed by the brain as sound. so basically without it no vibrations and hence the brain will not be able to interpret the vibrations into sounds
Difference between place theory and frequency theory?
Place theory states the perception of pitch is associated with vibration of different portions of the basilar membrane, while the frequency theory states the perception of pitch is associated with the frequency at which the entire basilar membrane vibrates.
Where is the basilar membrane most sensitive to the vibrations of very high-frequency sound waves?
closest to the cochlea
The structure within the cochlea containing hair cells that vibrate at different natural frequencies is the?
basilar membrane
As sound levels increase in the spiral organ of Corti?
outer hair cells stiffen the basilar membrane
