What inner ear structure picks up vibrations of fluid in the cochlea and transmits them as sensory impluse to the brain?
Scala tympani is one of the perilymph-filled cavities in the cochlear labyrinth of the human ear. It is separated from the scala media by the basilar membrane, and it extends from the round window to the helicotrema, where it continues as scala vestibuli.The purpose of the perilymph-filled scala tympani and scala vestibuli is to transduce the movement of air that causes the tympanic membrane and the ossicles to vibrate, to movement of liquid and the basilar membrane. This movement is conveyed to the organ of Cortiinside the scala media, composed of hair cells attached to the basilar membrane and their stereo cilia embedded in the tectorial membrane. The movement of the basilar membrane compared to the tectorial membrane causes the sterocilia to bend. They then depolarise and send impulses to the brain via the cochlear nerve. This produces the sensation of sound.
Is it true or false that The cochlea is a liquid-filled cavity in the inner ear.?
The walls of the hollow cochlea are made of bone, with a thin, delicate lining of epithelial tissue.
What is the pathway through which vibrations and fluid currents are transmitted to finally stimulate the hair cells?
Eardrum - Malleus - Incus - Stapes - Oval Window - Perilymph (in scala vestibuli) - Vestibular membrane - Endolymph (cochlear duct) - Hair cells (Organ of corti)
Acts as a pressure relief valve for the increased fluid pressure in the scala tympani?
Round Window"there are two types of windows inside the ear. the oval window and the round window. The round window serves as a pressure relief valve" Acts_as_a_pressure_relief_valve_for_fluid_in_the_ear
Does In your inner ear different parts of the basilar membrane vibrate at different natural frequencies?
Yes. It is correct. In your ear different parts of the basilar membrane vibrate at different natural frequencies. You have stapes bone attached to oval window. When it vibrates, the vibrations are transmitted to round window. This transmission goes through scala vestibuli and comes back through scala tympani. This can happen because there is communication between to channels at the tip. When this fluid vibrates, the vibrations are taken up by different part of basilar membrane. For this you have to have the basilar membrane anatomically tapered. The longer part vibrates with low frequency sound and tapering part vibrates with sounds of higher frequencies successively. So the 'resultant' frequency is taken up by part of the basilar membrane. The signal is transmitted by hair cells to brain. With successive 'resultant' signals brain can analyse the hundreds of different sounds. Two ears together give stereoscopic effect to the sound.
What is the area found between the scala vestibuli and the scala tympani?
cochlear duct
What is the function of the scala vestibuli?
it is responsible for conducting sound vibrations. Both the scala tympani and scala vestibuli are filled with the fluid known as perilymph.
What area is found between the scala vestibuli and the scala tympany?
cochlear duct
The oval window is connected directly to which passageway?
cochlea *scala vestibuli* and the round window is directly connected to the scala tympani (where sound dissipates)"The scala vestibuli is continuous with the vestibule near the base of the cochlea, where it abuts the oval window."From: Human Anatomy, 5th Edition Marieb, Mallatt, and Wilhelm
In the human body field what is the fluid perilymph?
Perilymph is a fluid present in the scala vestibuli and scala tympani which are the perilymph compartments of the inner ear. It has the same ionic concentration as the extracellular fluid present in the entire body
What is periymph?
Perilymph is an extracellular fluid located within the cochlea (part of the ear) in 2 of its 3 compartments; the scala tympani and scala vestibuli. The ionic composition of perilymph is comparable to that of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. The major cation of perilymph is sodium.
What is the Pressure relief valve for increased fluid pressure in the scala tympani?
Round Window

Which sequence correctly arranges inner ear structures from the largest and most inclusive to the smallest and most specific?
Sound waves→ auricle→ external auditory canal→ tympanic membrane→ malleus→ incus→ stapes→ oval window→ perilymph of the scala vestibuli→ vestibular membrane→ endolymph in the cochlear duct→ basilar membrane →hair cells against tectorial membrane → bending of hair cell stereocilia→ receptor potential→ nerve impulse. Sound wave → scala tympani→ round window.
What is carry vibrations from eardrum to perilymph?
Vibration of the tympanic membrane causes movement of the ear ossicles, resulting in the in-and-out vibration of the stapes in the oval window. That touches the perilymph in the scala vestibuli.
