What membrane channels are involved in hearing?
In hearing, specialized channels in hair cells called mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channels are involved in converting mechanical sound waves into electrical signals. These channels open and close in response to the movement of the hair cell stereocilia in the cochlea, ultimately leading to the generation of action potentials that are transmitted to the brain for sound perception.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
Define the term sound waves?
Waves of sound.
What can you hear but can not see?
Sound waves
What is the objective of travel faster radio waves or sound waves?
sound waves
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
What mechanism causes hair cell depolarization as stereocilia bend in response to sound waves?
When sound waves cause the stereocilia to bend, it opens ion channels in the hair cells, allowing positively charged ions to enter the cell and depolarize it. This depolarization triggers the release of neurotransmitters, sending signals to the brain to interpret the sound.
