What converts sound vibrations into electrical impulses?
The cochlea converts vibrations into electrical sounds
How can loud sound damage your hearing?
the loud sound damages to the hearings cells of the ear
How is hair attached to your head?
You hair is attached to your hair by roots on your head. These are called Hair root cells. They grow from your head at a young age and continue to grow all your life.
Gymnasts can walk through thin beams Which part of the ear helps them maintain balance?
There are three semi circular tubes located in the inner ear. These canals are filled with a fluid and the inside surfaces are covered in fine hair cells to detect fluid flow. The three canals are arranged at right angles(90 degrees) to each other in a similar way that you can point in three different directions using your thumb,index and second finger. As the gymnast balances on the bar this feedback mechanism tells the brain to move muscles to correct the balance. That is, the liquid within the canals flows over the hair cells and transmit this information to the brain which interprets the three dimensional movement. Inflammation of the inner ear can cause vertigo and motion sickness. (see Menieres disease)
What are the components of the ear?
There are three components of ear: The outer ear The middle ear The inner ear
What are the specialized cells found in ears?
hair cells are specialized cells found in the ear
What in the ear is activated by the movement of the perilymph?
Hair cells
Which term best describes cells that are stimulated when sound waves vibrate hair cells in the inner ear?

Which term best describes cells that are stimulated when sound waves vibrate hair cells in the ………..?
Inner ear
Why do you loose your hearing after an ear-infection?
Two possible reasons: (1) the infection killed hair cells or otherwise damaged the ear, (2) most antibiotics which are used to treat ear infections also kill hair cells. OK, now it is less prevalent than before. BTW, hair cells help transduce sound to neural signals.
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 are the sensory receptors for the the ear?
The inner ear is made up of multiple parts to amplify sound and to determine sound frequencies. The Cochlea is a spiral shaped portion of the inner ear which contains tiny "hair cells" which are the actual sensory receptors. Repeated loud noises can actually damage or destroy these hair cells causing permanent hearing loss.The ear also is used for balance, using a portion of the ear called the vestibule or vestibular system. This also has hair cells for sensory receptors that are triggered by motion.
What structure of the inner ear would be activated by a somersault?
The hair cells in the anterior semicircular canal
How does blasting the stereo make you deaf?
It injures the hair cells in your inner ear that do the sensing of sound.
