What are leaves with tiny hairs along the edge called?
ciliate
Tiny hairs located in what conduct sound to the brain?
Tiny hairs in your ear conduct vibration and convey that to your brain
How does your brain use tiny hairs to interpret signals as sound?
The cochlea has tiny hairs. These are held by the Organ of Corti. The tectorial membrane moves over the hair when sound waves move it. The hairs are stimulated. This structure is really the organ for hearing.
What is the name of the microscopic cells with tiny connecting branches that send messages to your brain?
They are call synapses, there are two types chemical and electrical.
When is sound perceived?
When the soundwaves hit the ear drum. The pressure wave is then passed to the Cochlear, which contain tiny hairs attached to nerve endings. Each hair resonates at different frequencies. The nerves send messages to the brain, which perceives the electrical signals produced as sound.
What does the Cochlea do for the ear?
The stirrup hits the cochlea and it sends waves through the liquid inside of it. These waves move the tiny hairs at the start of the auditory nerve. The hairs use the auditory nerve to make a cricket noise in your ear to send the vibrations to the brain.
Does sound go through your ears?
Yes, sound is recognized by the brain through your ears. When you hear a sound, it enters the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum causes small bones to vibrate, which causes tiny hairs to send signals to the brain.
What are The tiny hairs in your nostrils?
the tiny hairs are called CILIA
What do the semicicular canals in your ear do?
They are three tiny, fluid-filled tubes in your inner ear and they help you keep your balance. When you move your head around, the liquid inside the canals kind of slosh and move around the tiny hairs that line the canals. Then these hairs basically tell what the movement is and send it to your brain. Your brain can then tell your body how to stay balanced. If you spin around and then stop, the liquid inside your canals move awhile longer and the hairs continue to send the message that you're spinning even though you're not. That's why after you get off an amusement park ride, you may still feel dizzy.
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 are tiny hairs?
cilia
Where is the cochlea located?
Yes. It is a snail-shell shaped organ with tiny hairs lining the inside that move to sound waves, sending impulses to the brain, which the brain translates as sound.
