What ion is responsible for depolarization of hair cells of the spiral organ?
k+
Hair cells that function as hearing receptors are located?
spiral organ of Corti
As sound levels increase in the spiral organ of Corti?
outer hair cells stiffen the basilar membrane
The receptor organ for hearing is the?
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
How are the hair cells in the cochlea stimulated when the oval window is tapped by the stapes?
When the stapes taps on the oval window of the cochlea, it creates waves of pressure within the perilymph. The pressure waves within the perilymph are transferred to the basilar membrane of the organ of corti. The vibrations of the basilar membrane cause the attached hair cells to vibrate against the tectoral membrane. These vibrations are detected by the axons extending from the spiral ganglion in to the spiral lamina, and the impulses are sent to the brain via the cochlear nerve.
Receptors that contains hair bundles hair cells and supporting cells?
spiral organ of Corti
What ion is responsible for depolarization of hair cells of the spiral organ?
k+
Hair cells that function as hearing receptors are located?

Explain how sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing?
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.

outer hair cells stiffen the basilar membrane
The receptor organ for hearing is the?
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
Hair cells that enable us to distinguish the high frequency sound of a whistle from the low frequency sound of a tuba are found in what structure of the ear?
They are located in the spiral organ (organ of Corti). This structure is located in the cochlea.
In what organ is the hair cell found?
Hair cells are found in the skin.
What organ has folds of skin covered with pubic hair?
That would be your vagina.
How would the loss of stereocilia from hair cells of the spiral organ affect hearing?
The loss of stereocilia, as a result of constant exposure to loud noises, for instance, would reduce hearing sensitivity and could lead to deafness.

If you damage the hair cells of the organ of Corti you're going to have a harder time with something What?
Hearing
