Where is the organ of corti located?
It is in the inner ear.
Are the malleus incus and stapes parts of the Organ of Corti?
NO. The malleus, incus and stapes are the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. The Organ of Corti are located in the inner ear.
Explain how sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing?
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.
What is the role of cochlea in ear?
The cochlea is the place where sound is actually sensed by nerves to create a signal that can travel to the brain. The rest of the ear serves only to collect sound and transmit it to the cochlea.
What ear structures has hair cells that relay sound waves to auditory nerve fibers?
The Organ of Corti
The hearing receptors are contained within the?
Organ of Corti (spiral organ)
What is the bottom structure of the Corti organ?
The bottom structure of the Corti organ is the basilar membrane
Where corti organ located?
The organ of Corti is located in the Cochlea. The Cochlea is in the inner ear, it is the snailed-shaped, spiral tube that contains the organ of Corti, the receptor for hearing.
The receptor organ for hearing is the?
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
The organ of corti is the organ of what sense?
hearing
What are the receptors in the cochlea?
organ of corti, is a receptor organ that generates nerve impulse in response to vibration of the basilar membrane.
Is the organ of corti the organ of hearing?
Basically, yes. The organ of Corti contains the hearing receptors (little hairs) that allow us to hear.
Is the receptor organ for hearing?
spiral organ of Corti
Contains the organ of corti?
The organ of Corti is housed in an inner ear structure known as the cochlea.
What best describe where transduction of hearing takes place?
the transduction in hearing takes place at the organ of corti which includes tectorial membrane,sensory cells, basilar membrane and the auditory nerve.
The true organ of hearing located in the cochlea is called the?
organ of Corti
Where is the organ of corti located?
It is in the inner ear.
