How do auditory pathways carry nerve impulses to auditory cortices?
the auditory nerve pathways carry impulses to the auditory cortices in the ?
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
The auditory nerve pathways carry impulses to the auditory cortices in the?
Temporal lobes.
What auditory nerve is responsible for?
The auditory nerve is responsible for relaying vibrations from the cochlea, in the inner ear, to the brain as electrical impulses. The auditory centre of the brain then interprets these as sound.
What is a difference between optic nerve and auditory nerve?
Optic nerve is found in the eye which sends the nerve impulses from the eye to the brain. The auditory nerve is present in the ear and sends the nerve impulses from the ear to the brain. They both have the same functions though they're present in different places.
Sound waves from the air travel on the auditory nerve to the brain?
No, electrical impulses generated within the auditory senses do that.
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.
Type of Tissue that detects changes inside and outside the body and initiates and transmits nerve impulses?
Nervous tissue or Nerve Tissue
What carries electrical impulses from the ear to the brain?
sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate.VIBRATIONS pass through 3 connected bones in the middle earThis motion SETS FLUID MOVING in the inner ear.Moving fluid bends thousands of delicate hair-like cells which convert the vibrations into NERVE IMPULSES.Nerve impulses are CARRIED to the brain by the auditory nerveIn the brain, these impulses are CONVERTED into what we "hear" as sound.
What is the theory of hearing that the rate of auditory nerve impulses matches the frequency of tones?
Frequency Theory
The conductor of nerve impulses that initiates reflex reaction to sensory information without input from the brain is the what?
spinal cord
