Is the part of the ear that is set into vibration by vibrating air molecules the cochlea?
The eardrum is the first thing that vibrates in response to vibrating air or "sound". The cochlea is the last step in the process, and instead of vibrating it is filled with fluid that moves in response to vibration on a small window on the side. This moves the cochlear fluid and then is transferred to the brain through small hairs inside the organ. Three tiny bones (Malleus, Incus, and Stapes) transfer the vibration from the eardrum to the cochlea.
Which activity best describes the function of the inner ear?
The inner ear comprise of three intimately related structures - the cochlea (spiral tube), three semicircular canals and the vestibule (labyrinth). The cochlea is directly responsible for hearing and contains nerves responsible for converting energy vibrations within the inner ear fluid into nerve impulses which can be transmitted to the brain. While the vestibule (labyrinth) and semicircular canals function to maintain balance or equilibrium.
Which of the three ossicles strike the cochlea?
The auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe stapes/stirrup are the nearest ossicle to the cochlea of the inner ear.
What are the three spaces that inner ear are consists in?
vestibule,semicircular canals and the cochlea
In cells little pockets filled with fluid are the centrioles true or false?
False. Centrioles are microfilaments arranged in 9 groups of three.

What are the contents of the cochlea in the ear?
The cochlea structure consists of three adjacent tubes separated from each other by sensitive membranes. These tubes are coiled in the shape of a snail shell and filled with fluid. Its' job is to take the physical vibrations caused by the sound wave and translate them into electrical information the brain can recognize as distinct sound.

What creates pressure waves in the cochlea?
Sound waves act on the eardrum, which drives a set of three tiny bones, of which the stirrup acts upon the Oval Window of the Cochlea, thus inducing pressure waves in the fluid of that organ. These waves move the signal hairs and thus their nerves which communicate with the brain.
How many syllables does cochlea have?
There are three syllables. Coch-le-a.
How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea?
Sound waves cause the thin skin of the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration, in turn, vibrates a chain of three tiny bones which are attached, at one end of the chain, to the eardrum, and at the other end of the chain, to a thin drumlike structure on on the opening to the cochlea. The vibration of this "round window" as it is called, causes the fluid inside the cochlea to flow, which in turn causes tiny hairs inside the cochlea to move. These hairs, when moved, send signals to the brain which are interpreted as sound.

What is the inner ear made up of?
The inner ear is made up of several structures including the cochlea, which is responsible for hearing, and the vestibular system, which is responsible for balance and spatial orientation. The cochlea contains tiny hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The vestibular system consists of three semicircular canals and otolithic organs that detect changes in head position and movement.
What are the three spaces in the inner ear?
vestibule, semi-circular canals, and cochlea

In cells little pockets filled with fluid are the centrioles true or false?
