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.


What parts of the ear are responsible for hearing?

The cochlea is the main sensory organ responsible for hearing in the ear. It contains hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The auditory nerve then carries these signals to the brain for processing.


What is the organ of hearing which lies in the snail shaped cochlea?

The organ of hearing that lies in the snail-shaped cochlea is the spiral-shaped organ called the organ of Corti. It contains hair cells that are responsible for detecting sound vibrations and converting them into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.


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

If you damage the hair cells of the organ of Corti, you will have a harder time hearing, as these cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that your brain can interpret as sound. Damage to these cells can result in hearing loss or difficulties in distinguishing different pitches or tones.


What best describe where transduction of hearing takes place?

Transduction of hearing takes place in the cochlea of the inner ear. This is where sound waves are converted into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. The hair cells in the cochlea play a key role in this process by detecting vibrations and sending signals to the auditory nerve.
