Sensory receptors of the ear?
The cochlea; sound wave are transferred through the ear canal and vibrated the ear drum which is connected to the cochlea and amplified the sound wave. When the sound wave reached the cochlea, sound wave is converted into nerve impulse and transferred through the nerve to the brain. Receptor is a converter of stimulus to electrical nerve impulse ; cochlea converted sound wave into nerve impulse and so cochlea is the sensory receptor of the ear.
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 in your body can you find the cochlea?
YOUR EARS : Sound comes into the inner ear as vibrations and enters the cochlea
What is a cochlea and what is its role?
The cochlea is the inner ear. It transforms sound into a message the nerves can carry to the brain.
What does the brain interpret stimuli from the hair cells in the cochlea as?
Sound
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.

What part of the ear converts vibrations to action potentials?
The inner ear contains the receptors for sound which convert fluid motion into action potentials that are sent to the brain to enable sound perception. The airborne sound waves must be transferred into the inner ear for hearing to occur.
What structure passes sound vibrations to the cochlea turning sound vibration into mechanical movements?
those 3 tiny ear bones
What is the role of cochlea in ear?

How does sound travel to your brains?
the sound wave vibrate the cochlea in your ear (a small snail like organ in your ear) the fluid inside it shake touching receptors your brain takes the vibrations and and relays the info
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
What structure passes passes sound vibration to the cochlea?
The idiot who posted Auditory Nerve is an idiot its, Stirrup!
Hair cells that enable us to distinguish the high frequency sound of a whistle from the low frequency sound of a tuba are found in what structure of the ear?
They are located in the spiral organ (organ of Corti). This structure is located in the cochlea.
What is the receptor for sound waves in the middle ear?
The middle ear does not really deal with the sound it just passes it though. The receptors are in the INNER ear. They are cells in the walls of the cochlea attached to minute hairs floating in the cochlear liquid.
What part of the ear contains the sensory receptors for hearing and balance?
In the mammalian ear the sensory receptors (hair cells) for hearing are in the cochlea and for ballance are in the semicircular canals. Both the cochlea and semicircular canals are part of the inner ear.inner
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.
