What is the role of hair cells in the cochela?
The Cochlea is a part of the ear that turns the vibrations in the small bones into electrical information. The electrical information is channeled through the nerves, into the brain. The Cochlea is a part of the ear that turns the vibrations in the small bones into electrical information. The electrical information is channeled through the nerves, into the brain.
What takes sound waves from the inner ear to the brain?
Sound travels in waves. Our ears pick up these waves and funnel them to the eardrum. The eardrum interprets them as vibrations. These vibrations pass through the eardrum, into the inner ear via the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones. This causes fluid in the inner ear to bend tiny hairs which convert the vibrations into nerve impulses. The auditory nerve then sends the signals to the brain, which converts them again into the sound of what is heard.
How do the hair cells in your ears respond to different wavelengths of vibrations?
The hairs in the inner ear have a small amount of fluid surrounding them and as sound passes through the ear canal to the tympanic membrane the stapes also vibrates and sends those vibrations to the cochlea where the hair cells are in that fluid. The vibrations are translated to sound through the optic nerve and sent to the brain as high and low sounds. Another thing to note about the hairs is that when we experience a back and forth motion such as in a boat the fluid makes the hairs swish back and forth causing equilibrium problems and nausea and vomiting (sea sickness or motion sickness).
Why is an oscilloscope used to measure sound waves?
An osciloppe measures oscillations. Oscillations are vibrations. And vibrations are sound waves.
What is the bony tube that contains fluids as well as neurons that move in response to the vibrations of the fluids?
The bony tube that contains fluids as well as neurons that move in response to the vibrations of the fluids is called the cochlea. It is a spiral-shaped structure located in the inner ear and plays a crucial role in hearing by converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
What fluid filled passes sound vibrations to tiny hairs attached to nerves?
l
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.
Is sound produced when things vibrate?
Actually, sound isn't caused by vibrations, sound is the vibrations. You see, sound is just our complex ear receiving these signals and interpreting them into what our brains can understand.
How can sound cause hearing loss?
It can damage the eardrum as sound contains vibrations.
What happens to an ear when sound waves travel through it?
Sound travels into the ear where it goes into the ear drum which looks similar to a snail shell which has many many tiny hairs attached to it. When the sound waves hit the hairs, the hairs begin to vibrate according to the frequency of the sound waves. Certain hairs register certain frequencies and sends signals to the brain which registers those vibrations as sound.
Why can your ear hear sound?
Because my eardrums are sensitive to the oscillations in the molecules in the air and pass on the vibrations to the inner ear where tiny hairs in fluid, attached to nerves, convert the vibrations into electrical signals which my brain can then interpret as sound.
Sound is a from of?
Waves and vibrations in the air, Picked up by little hairs in your ears that vibrate and reproduce the sound into a form your brain can interpret. (very short and bare bones answer but that is jist of it)
How is the intensity of a sound transduced into neural codes?
It is the sound pressure (!) that moves your ear drums.Your ears and the sound pressure level meter "measure" the sound pressure of a sound wave. Sound intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -and the sound pressure is the effect.The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.Sound is vibrations. These vibrations are carried through the ear where they cause fine hairs in the inner ear to vibrate. The intensity of the vibration is picked up by sensors which monitor the amplitude of the hair's vibrations. Larger vibration amplitudes of the hairs indicates louder noise. This information is sent to the brain.
Electrical vibrations into sound vibrations?
the cochlea convents vibrations into electrical sound
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
Can you make a sound with no vibrations?
No; sound comes from vibrations.
How sound relates to vibrations?
A sound creates vibrations
