The cochlea
What else can I help you with?
Which part of the ear sends a message to the brain that is recognized as sound?
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.
What is the function of the cochlea?
The cochlea is responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. It is a spiral-shaped, fluid-filled structure in the inner ear that contains thousands of hair cells that detect different frequencies of sound.
How does the message from sound waves get to your brain?
Sound waves travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are passed to the cochlea in the inner ear, where hair cells are stimulated and send signals to the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve then carries these signals to the brain, which processes and interprets the sound.
What happens to your vocal chords when you speak?
The voice vibrates due to the Compression and the Rarefraction. When a sound vibrates it producs an area of Compression and Rarefraction as these vibration strikes our ear drum,it starts vibrating. These vibrations communicated to the brain and we are able to hear sound.
What sends impulses to brain?
sensory neurons
Which part of your ear sends the messages to your brain that you've heard a sound?
The cochlea
Who discovered you hear with your ears?
you actuallydont hear with your ears sound waves go into your ear which vibrate your eardrum and somehow sends the message to your brain that there is sound in the air.
What sends a message to the central nerous system in your body?
Sensory receptors throughout the body detect stimuli such as touch, pain, temperature, and sound. These receptors then send signals along sensory neurons to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing and response.
Which part of the ear sends a message to the brain that is recognized as sound?
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.
What object sends you distant sounds?
A microphone captures sound and sends it to a receiver or amplifier where it can be heard from a greater distance.
What does the brain use the stimuli from the hair cells in the canals for?
The brain uses the stimuli in the hair cells to detect sound waves and then change it so that it can send you a "message" that you heard sound Sorry if it's all wrong. I got this questions for my Bio test
What lists the correct order of events leading to a sound being heard by a person?
The correct order of events leading to a sound being heard by a person is sound waves traveling through the air, reaching the ear, causing the eardrum to vibrate, and then being transmitted as signals to the brain for interpretation as sound.
How do you hear sound?
Sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals by hair cells. These signals travel along the auditory nerve to the brain, which then processes them as sound.
Does sound travel under water in the deep ocean?
MAGIC!!!!! no really, sound travels underwater even fast than out of water. sound is just a vibration that your eardrums hear and send the message to your brain, and your brain converts it into a message that we know as sounds!
What cause humans to hear sound?
Sound travels through the air - causing the ear-drum to vibrate. This sends impulses to teh brain which is interpreted as sound.
How do we hear guitars?
When the guitar is strumed, it sends out soundwaves that pur brain picks up and converts it into sound.
What are the steps of hearing?
There is a noise and it sends sound waves through the air and your ear drum vibrates and it sends messages to your brain which tells you what you are hearing I hope this helped
