What best describe where transduction of hearing takes place?
the transduction in hearing takes place at the organ of corti which includes tectorial membrane,sensory cells, basilar membrane and the auditory nerve.
The sense of hearing depends on which specialized cells?
The mechanoreceptors responsible for the sense of hearing are contained in the Organ of Corti. It has 16,000 hearing receptor cells located on the basilar membrane of each inner ear.A movement of the hair cells against tectorial membrane stimulates dendrites that terminate around the base of hair cells and initiates an impulse conduction by the cochlear nerve to the brainstem.Impulses pass through 'relay stations' in the nuclei in medulla, pons, midbrain, and thalamus before reaching the auditory area of temporal lobe of the brain.
What allows growth and what worn out or damaged cells?
Mitosis allows growth and replaces worn out or damaged cells.
What replaces dead or damaged cells?
stem cells
What are nerve cells that detect conditions of the body's environment?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).
What conditions are treated with cochlear implants?
Cochlear implants are used to make hearing possible for those with sensorineural hearing impairment.
Are auditory receptor cells located in the anvil?
yes the auditory receptor cells are located in the anvil
What can damage your ears and hearing?
To answer this question, you have to first separate ears from hearing.The anatomical structure of the ear can be damaged by trauma, genetic disordersor malformations, or diseases.Typically, anything that damages the ear can damage hearing. However, other things that can damage hearing without necessarily damaging the anatomy of the ear are ototoxic agents (chemicals that can damage cells of the hearing organs), exposure to very loud noise or infections of the inner ear, or tumors or growths of impacting the central auditory nervous system.

What is cochlea damage?
The cochlea is the main hearing-related organ of the inner ear. When it is damaged, permanent hearing loss is the result. Tiny "hair cells" on the cochlea are responsible for sensing specific sounds, and cochlea damage is caused by the bending and/or breaking of these "hair cells."
Cells that detect conditions in the body environment are?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).
How does a cell develop into a multicellular organism?
as a multicellular organism develops, its cells as a multicellular organism develops, its cells
What are hair cells and what is their relationship to the auditory nerve?
the out hair cells (OHC)push against the tectorial membrane in response to efferent innervation from the CNS the seventh cranial nerve it's the inner hair cells (IHC) that provide the sense of hearing afferent innervation to the CNS the eighth cranial nerve
What is the route of the auditory nerve from you ear to your brain What parts of the brain does the auditory nerve travel?
Eardrum, Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup, Cochlea, Hair Cells, Auditory Nerve.

How Can stem cells repair a damaged heart?
Stem cells can repair a damaged heart by turning into new cardiac cells to replace the damaged tissue.
A basilar membrane would be found in?
Auditory nerve
