Changing electrical vibrations into sound vibrations?
the cochlea convents vibrations into electrical sound
What converts sound vibrations into electrical impulses?
The cochlea converts vibrations into electrical sounds
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 part of the ear transfers sound vibrations to the cochlea?
the oval window
The part of the ear that transfers sound vibrations to the cochlea is the?
Tympanic membrane --> malleus --> incus --> stapes --> oval window --> cochlea

The cochlea converts vibrations into electrical sounds
In the cochlea?
Sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses :)
What happens when sound reaches the nerves of the ear?
Sound doesn't actually affect the nerves. Sound makes the eardrum, ear bones and the fluid in the cochlea vibrate. The vibrations in the fluid make tiny hairs on the walls move, and these cause the nerves to generate electric signals which are transmitted to the brain.
Where in your body can you find the cochlea?
YOUR EARS : Sound comes into the inner ear as vibrations and enters the cochlea

How the sound travels inside the ear?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.

Is the cohchlea considered a bone?
The cochlea is not a bone. It is a fluid filled tube in the ear that has tiny hairs. When a vibration, or sound, travels through the cochlea, the hairs move, which triggers nerves connected to the base of each hair to send a signal to the brain, allowing us to perceive sounds. However, there are two tiny bones in the ear which transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea. These bones are referred to as the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup.
What is the role of hair cells in the cochela?
The Cochlea is a part of the ear that turns the vibrations in the small bones into electrical information. The electrical information is channeled through the nerves, into the brain.
