After your ears convert sound waves into electrical signals where are the signals sent for interpretation?
The brain
How are signals sent from the brain to the rest of the body?
They are sent through your nervous system by electric pulses from your brain
How does the cochlea detect sound signals?
the cells of the hairs don't detect the sound waves at all. The full hair is vibrated by the sound waves and this vibration is picked up by nerves and the info is sent to the brain.
What makes microphones make your voice loud?
A microphone, by itself, does not make your voice loud. It changes the sound waves your voice makes in analogous electric signals. These signals can be sent to an amplifier and speakers to make you voice sound loud. The amplifier increases the amplitude of the electric waves so that when they are sent to a speaker and changed back into sound waves, they will be louder.
How low or high a sound seems?
Sound is pressure waves travelling through the air. The brain can detect the difference in sound frequency, based on the distance between pressure waves, by the ear which physically responds to incoming sound waves. Volume, frequency and direction are identified, then translated and sent to the brain as electrical signals.

What are the electrical signals called which are sent to our brain?
There are a few things that pass message from the ear to the brain. The most likely answer is the ear canal.
Which kind of nerves sent the signals from your brain to initiate your physical movements?
efferent
What structure carries the sensations caused by sound to the brain?
The cocheal contains receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into impulses that are sent to the brain.
What contains receptors that convert sound vibrations to impulses that are sent to the brain?
The cocheal contains receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into impulses that are sent to the brain.
What is the auditory pathway for sound transduction to the brain?
When hair cells within the cochlea are stimulated by sound wave vibrations, they stimulate nearby sensory neurons of the spiral ganglion. The signals then get sent to the cochlear nerve and then to the vestibulocholear nerve (CN VII). These signals then get sent to the cochlear nucleus of the medulla oblongata which then get relayed to the inferior colliculus of the midbrain. These signals then get sent to the thalmus where they are relayed to the auditory cortex where specific areas process the pitch and frequency of the sound. The reflexatory response to sound is directed by the inferior colliculus (ie turn head toward sound) Actually, there are two errors in your answer. First: it is vestibulocochlear Second: it is cranial nerve VIII
What is the function of hand signals?
To pass messages that can not be heard or need to be sent discretely or without sound.
