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.
Cochlea.
Vestibulocochlear is the term for the nerve that carries sound and balance information to the brain from the ear.
Sensory receptors detect changes in the environment known as stimuli. These receptors are specialized cells that send signals to the brain or spinal cord in response to specific types of stimuli such as light, sound, pressure, or chemical signals.
The adequate stimulus for sensory receptors in the ear, specifically hair cells in the cochlea, is sound waves. These sound waves cause vibrations in the fluid-filled chambers of the inner ear, which displace the hair cells and generate electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain, allowing us to perceive sound. Different frequencies and amplitudes of sound waves stimulate different hair cells, enabling a wide range of auditory experiences.
Phasic sensory receptors are specialized nerve endings that rapidly adapt to a constant stimulus, such as the touch receptors in the skin. Tonic sensory receptors, on the other hand, do not adapt as quickly and provide continuous information about a stimulus, like the proprioceptors that sense body position.

Cochlea.
Vestibulocochlear is the term for the nerve that carries sound and balance information to the brain from 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.
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
The sensory receptors for smell are referred to as olfactory receptors.
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.
somatic receptors and special receptors
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.
The dermis layer of the skin is composed of thousands of sensory receptors, including touch receptors, temperature receptors, and pain receptors. These receptors help you to feel sensations and respond to your environment.
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
