How do pressure waves in the cochlea lead to an action potential in the auditory nerve?
Temporal
What transmits sound waves to the inner ear making waves in the fluid in the cochlea?
The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea). ... The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.
What layer of the eye converts visible light into nerve impulses?
I am pretty sure it is the retina.The retina not only is used for focusing but also The sides of the ''retina'' are responsible for our peripheral vision. The center area, called the macula, is ''used'' for our fine central vision and color vision. Are you referring to optical nerve impulses?
Where does the spinal nerve take nerve impulses?
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
What is the specific nerve that innervates the cochlea?
Auditory Nerve from brain to ear.
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
In the cochlea?
Sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses :)
What Sound vibration are converted into nerve impulses in the?
Cochlea apex
The structure in the ear that initiates impulses in the auditory nerve is?
The answer should be the cochlea.
What part of the inner ear do the receptors convert sounds vibrations into nerve impulses?
Cochlea
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
sound waves
Does the cochlea in the inner ear transform sound impressions into the nerve impulses?
yes. yes it does!
What is the function of the cochlea?
houses the spiral organ of corti which is the receptor organ for hearing.it sends electrial impulses to the brain
Which part of the eye converts light into electrical energy?
The retina converts light into nerve impulses, which are NOT electrical in nature.
What cranial nerve carries hearing impulses to the brain?
the "vestibulocochlear" nerve is used for hearing. the hair cells of the cochlea and vestibular are how the nerve receives the information. The nerve is (VIII) out of the 12 cranial nerves.
What auditory nerve is responsible for?
The auditory nerve is responsible for relaying vibrations from the cochlea, in the inner ear, to the brain as electrical impulses. The auditory centre of the brain then interprets these as sound.
How do pressure waves in the cochlea lead to an action potential in the auditory nerve?
