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 receptor organ for hearing is the?
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
As sound levels increase in the spiral organ of Corti?
outer hair cells stiffen the basilar membrane
What is the function of organ of corti?
the organ of corti is found inside the cochlea in the middle ear. in the organ of corti are hair cells which pick up vibrations. these vibrations are what is processed by the brain as sound. so basically without it no vibrations and hence the brain will not be able to interpret the vibrations into sounds
Where are bipolar amacrine and ganglion cells located?
Retinal Cells, Olfactory epithelium Cells

What organelle is a gellike material inside cells?
Cytoplasm, but it isn't an organelle.

The hearing receptors of the orgen of corti are called?
hair cells
Receptors that contains hair bundles hair cells and supporting cells?
spiral organ of Corti
What is the pathway through which vibrations and fluid currents are transmitted to finally stimulate the hair cells?
Eardrum - Malleus - Incus - Stapes - Oval Window - Perilymph (in scala vestibuli) - Vestibular membrane - Endolymph (cochlear duct) - Hair cells (Organ of corti)
What is the pathway through which vibrations and fluid currents travel to finally stimulate the hair cells in the organ of Corti?
Sound waves/vibrations cause the hair cells to move which create nerve impulses which are converted to sound via the 8th cranial nerve to the brainstem. I'm a medical professional who is a little rusty on her anatomy/physiology but I believe this answer is correct.
Hair cells that function as hearing receptors are located?
spiral organ of Corti
Explain how sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing?
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.
