What part of the inner ear is responsible for hearing?
Cochlea is the part of inner ear, which detects sound waves.
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 part of the ear extends from apex of cochlea to round window?
Internal ear.
What transmits sound waves to the inner ear making waves in the fluid in the cochlea?
The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea). ... The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.
Where is the cochlea located in ear?
The cochlea is located in the inner ear, in contact with the latter part of the 3 small bone structures that constitute the middle ear (the stirrup, hammer and anvil.)
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
What part of the inner ear is responsible for hearing?
Cochlea is the part of inner ear, which detects sound waves.
What part of the ear converts vibrations to action potentials?
The inner ear contains the receptors for sound which convert fluid motion into action potentials that are sent to the brain to enable sound perception. The airborne sound waves must be transferred into the inner ear for hearing to occur.
What converts sound vibrations into electrical impulses?
The cochlea converts vibrations into electrical sounds
In your ear a part that looks like a coiled tube is the?
cochlea
What part of the inner ear is spiral shaped?
cochela Cochlea
How is hearing affected if a person 's cochlea is damaged?
The cochlea is the part of the inner ear that takes vibrations, transferred from sound waves hitting the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and converts them into signals for the auditory nerve. Different parts of the cochlea "encode" different frequencies (pitches) of sound. Therefore, if only part of the cochlea is damaged, a person may lose the ability to hear certain frequencies of sound. If it is damaged enough, the person may lose the ability to hear completely in one ear.
Does your ear or the brain do the hearing?
both. Your eardrum receives the vibrations of the sound waves, your cochlea converts that vibration into electrical signals which are then interpreted or "heard" by the auditory cortex of your brain. the brain after it picks up the sound from the ear..
What is the central part of the inner ear called?
i think it is the cochlea
Which part of your ear do sound waves enter through?
Sound waves technically enter through the Auricle, the outside, visible part of the ear. From there, they hit the Tympanic Membrane (ear drum) and vibrate the ossicles (small bones in the ear), where the waves are transferred into the cochlea and organ of corti, where they're detected and changed to nerve impulses.
Which part of the ear is the semicircular canals and cochlea?
The internal ear.
What is the seashell looking part of the ear?
cochlea
