Which structure of the human ear is filled with fluid and lined with tiny hair lines?
Cochlea i think
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
What structure separates the cochlear duct from the tympanic duct?
vestibular membrane
What part of the inner ear is spiral shaped?
cochela Cochlea
What is the function of cochlea in the body?
the vibrations from the stirrup arrive at the cochlea, where the cilia (tiny hair like structures) take the vibration convert it into information at the nerve endings where the brain can understand and interpret the sound for us
How is hearing affected if a person 's cochlea is damaged?
The cochlea is the part of the inner ear that takes vibrations, transferred from sound waves hitting the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and converts them into signals for the auditory nerve. Different parts of the cochlea "encode" different frequencies (pitches) of sound. Therefore, if only part of the cochlea is damaged, a person may lose the ability to hear certain frequencies of sound. If it is damaged enough, the person may lose the ability to hear completely in one ear.
How are sounds of different frequencies differented in the cochlea?
The way I heard from a podcast about tinnitus, there are nerve hairs that wiggle in response to certain frequencies, and alerts the brain and adjacent nerve hairs, allowing you to "sift" through information.
How do different pitches affect the cochlea?
Different pitches vibrate the cochlea at different places

How does humans perceive changes in frequency?
cochlea of ear perceive and respond to various frequencies in sound...
What is the name of the spiral containing liquid in the inner ear?
the cochlea. it contains a liquid that helps your balance.
The structure that actually contains the hearing receptors is?
The cochlea
Coiled structure located in the inner ear is known as?
Cochlea
Is the cochlea and the eardrum the same thing?
No. The eardrum (also known as the timpanic membrane) is a membrane that helps amplify sounds. The cochlea is deeper inside the ear, behind the eardrum. It is like a tube with little tiny hairs that vibrate at different sound frequencies which transmit information to the brain to help us percieve sound at different tones and pitches.
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
The structure in the ear that initiates impulses in the auditory nerve is?
The answer should be the cochlea.
Which structure catches the wave and stops the vibration through the cochlea?
Round Window
