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 else can I help you with?
How do sensory hair cells in the ear contribute to our sense of hearing?
Sensory hair cells in the ear detect sound vibrations and convert them into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. This process allows us to perceive and interpret sounds, contributing to our sense of hearing.
What are the names of the hearing receptors within the inner ear?
Hearing and balance receptors are found in the ear.
How do nerve cells muscle cells and blood cells compare?
nerve cells give you your sense of touch, feel, smell, and hearing. Blood cells depends on what type of blood you are talking about white blood cells help protect your body from sickness and red blood cells carry oxygen to your lungs allowing you to breath both are essential for living
What sense is associated with the temporal lobe?
The sense associated with the temporal lobe is hearing.
What do the maculae in the utricle and saccule sense?
The maculae in the utricle and saccule sense linear acceleration and head position relative to gravity. They are specialized structures in the inner ear that contain hair cells sensitive to movement and play a key role in our sense of balance and spatial orientation.
Hair cells are important in the sense of?
Hearing.
What receptors provide the sense of hearing?
Hair cells
Your sense organs have specialised cells called?
sensory receptors - specialized nerve cells
What is a cat's strongest sense?
its their sense of smell but it depends on what snake your talking about
How do sensory hair cells in the ear contribute to our sense of hearing?

What is the normal range of hearing for a elephant?
Elephants have very good hearing and sense of smell, but poor eye-sight. Their normal hearing range depends on the volume of sound.
Can stem cells help restore your hearing?
yes the can because when the go to the body they control every sense
Animal with keen sense of hearing?
it depends what you classify as "the best hearing" but dolphins and bats have the best sonar hearing and owls have the sharpest hearing with one ear hole above their eye level and one below they can pinpoint the vertical positions of a sound source. :)
What is your sense of hearing known as?
My sense of hearing is known as audition.
Distinguish between a receptor and a sense organ?
A receptor is a specialized cell or group of cells that detect stimuli and convert them into signals for the nervous system. A sense organ is a more complex structure made up of multiple types of receptors that work together to detect specific sensory information, such as the eye for vision or the ear for hearing.
What is the last sense of a patient who is dying will lose?
hearing is the last sense to leave
What animal has the best sense of hearing?
it depends what you classify as "the best hearing" but dolphins and bats have the best sonar hearing and owls have the sharpest hearing with one ear hole above their eye level and one below they can pinpoint the vertical positions of a sound source.
