The cochlea; sound wave are transferred through the ear canal and vibrated the ear drum which is connected to the cochlea and amplified the sound wave. When the sound wave reached the cochlea, sound wave is converted into nerve impulse and transferred through the nerve to the brain.

Receptor is a converter of stimulus to electrical nerve impulse ; cochlea converted sound wave into nerve impulse and so cochlea is the sensory receptor of the ear.

What are the sensory receptors for the the ear?

The inner ear is made up of multiple parts to amplify sound and to determine sound frequencies. The Cochlea is a spiral shaped portion of the inner ear which contains tiny "hair cells" which are the actual sensory receptors. Repeated loud noises can actually damage or destroy these hair cells causing permanent hearing loss.The ear also is used for balance, using a portion of the ear called the vestibule or vestibular system. This also has hair cells for sensory receptors that are triggered by motion.


What part of the ear contains the sensory receptors for hearing and balance?

In the mammalian ear the sensory receptors (hair cells) for hearing are in the cochlea and for ballance are in the semicircular canals. Both the cochlea and semicircular canals are part of the inner ear.inner

What are the sensory receptors of the ear called?

The sensory receptors of the ear are called hair cells. These specialized cells are located within the cochlea of the inner ear and are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound. Hair cells are crucial for both hearing and balance, as they respond to different types of mechanical stimuli in the auditory and vestibular systems.


How are sensory receptors classified?

somatic receptors and special receptors


Normal balance or equilibrium depends on input from a number of sensory receptors name them?

The sensory receptors involved in maintaining normal balance or equilibrium include the vestibular system (inner ear), proprioceptors (joints and muscles), visual system, and tactile input (skin sensations). These sensory inputs work together to provide the brain with information about body position, movement, and spatial orientation.
