Where are the hairs located in your ear?
The hairs in your ear are located in the cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear. These hairs help to detect sound vibrations and send signals to the brain for processing.
What is the function of the fine hairs and tiny wax-producing glands of the external auditory canal?
The fine hairs in the external auditory canal help to trap and prevent debris, such as dust and particles, from entering the ear. This helps to keep the ear clean and prevent blockages. The tiny wax-producing glands in the external auditory canal secrete earwax (cerumen) which helps to lubricate and protect the ear canal from infection and irritation.
Do ear hairs play a role in helping you hear?
Yes, ear hairs help to protect the ear canal and enhance the ability to hear by capturing and directing sound waves towards the eardrum.
What do ear hairs do?
Ear hairs help to trap dust, dirt, and other particles from entering the ear canal. They also help to protect the delicate structures inside the ear, such as the eardrum, from damage by foreign objects. Additionally, ear hairs can help in detecting sound vibrations and aiding in spatial awareness.
What does the ear look like?
The ear canal is normally skin-colored and is covered with tiny hairs
What does the ear canal look like?

Why are cells responsible for hearing called mechanoreceptors?
the cells which receive the signal receive "mechanical stimulation". As fluid waves, propagated when sound waves interact with the ear, travel through the cochlea tiny hairs are moved, smaller/stiffer hairs moved = higher pitch, longer/looser hairs moved = lower pitch.
Tiny hairs in the inner ear help the body maintain.?
Balance
How does your hearing work?
Sound vibrates the inner ear to stimulate hairs in the cochlear.
What is a cavern-like bone with tiny hairs and fluid?
The inner ear or the cochlea
What happens to an ear when sound waves travel through it?
Sound travels into the ear where it goes into the ear drum which looks similar to a snail shell which has many many tiny hairs attached to it. When the sound waves hit the hairs, the hairs begin to vibrate according to the frequency of the sound waves. Certain hairs register certain frequencies and sends signals to the brain which registers those vibrations as sound.
What do you call the hair inside the corn?
The "hairs" inside an ear of corn are corn silk.
