In the ear the basilar membrane and hair cells are found in the?

What is the function of cochlea in the body?
the vibrations from the stirrup arrive at the cochlea, where the cilia (tiny hair like structures) take the vibration convert it into information at the nerve endings where the brain can understand and interpret the sound for us

What is the shape of a cochlea?
It is spiral shaped like a snail
What is a neat fact about the cochlea?
It looks like a snail!
Who hears the highest pitch?
if you mean in terms of humans then the younger the person the higher pitched noises they can hear. when air vibrates (sound) enters the ear it only travels so far up the cochlea where sound receptors are located. the deeper the sound the further into the ear it travels. over time these, nearer to the outside, sound receptors (they're kind of like little hairs) in the ear ware away meaning that higher pitches cannot be heard. This is because even though deeper sounds travel further into the ear they still brush the nearer receptors so these ware first.
What cochlea means?
The Cochlea is the auditory portion of the inner ear. It's from the Latin word for Snail, since it looks like a coiled shell.
How can we hear a sound wave?
Sound waves travel into the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones or ossicles into the inner ear. The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is also called the cochlea. Inside the cochlea, there are thousands of tiny hair cells.Thankyou.
