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 ear structures has hair cells that relay sound waves to auditory nerve fibers?
The Organ of Corti
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.
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.
What receives sound sound vibration and relays it to the auditory nerve fibers?
Organ of corti
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.
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
As sound levels increase in the spiral organ of Corti?
outer hair cells stiffen the basilar membrane
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.
What is the function of organ of corti?
the organ of corti is found inside the cochlea in the middle ear. in the organ of corti are hair cells which pick up vibrations. these vibrations are what is processed by the brain as sound. so basically without it no vibrations and hence the brain will not be able to interpret the vibrations into sounds
Is the receptor organ for hearing?
spiral organ of Corti
