In the cochlea?
Sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses :)
in vision, would occur when light from an object enters your eye and is converted to nerve impulses?
transduction
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
sound waves
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 are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Neurons transmit nerve impulses/ electric impulses throughout the body.

How is light converted into nerve impulses?
retina
How are sound waves in the air converted into an electrical nerve impulse?
The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves, the bones in the inner ear pick that up, stimulate nearby nerve endings, and nerve impulses are created. The best description to get an impulse sound is a loud noise. Something like fire works or gun shots.
Where are the structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses located?
It is in the inner ear that we find the structures that translate the mechanical energy of sound into nerve impulses.
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
Receptors in the ear that translate sound waves into nerve impulses are?
mechanoreceptors
What receives sound sound vibration and relays it to the auditory nerve fibers?
Organ of corti
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
in vision, would occur when light from an object enters your eye and is converted to nerve impulses?
transduction
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
sound waves
Does the cochlea in the inner ear transform sound impressions into the nerve impulses?
yes. yes it does!
Where does the spinal nerve take nerve impulses?
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
