The Organ of Corti (in the inner ear) 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.
The inner ear includes the three semicircular canals. They (plus the base of each called the ampullaris) are involved in:
1. Static Equilibrium in the ampulla which contains the sense for position of head when body is not moving.
2. Dynamic Equilibrium in the semicircular canals which senses rotation and movement of head and body.
The cochlea structure consists of three adjacent tubes separated from each other by sensitive membranes.
What else can I help you with?
What do you think th ear controls?
Hearing and balance. The ear doesnt control anything, it is a sensory organ only. It does though sense sound and gravitational pull, the senses of hearing and balance. The information is receives is relayed to the brain which controls movements to adjust balance.
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.
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 is a 3 letter for hearing organ?
Ear.
What are the names of the hearing receptors within the inner ear?
Hearing and balance receptors are found in the ear.
What is the organ of both balance and hearing in verterbrates?
The organ responsible for both balance and hearing in vertebrates is the inner ear. It contains structures such as the semicircular canals for balance and the cochlea for hearing. Signals from these structures are sent to the brain to help maintain equilibrium and interpret sound.
What is a otic organ?
An otic organ is a specialized sensory organ responsible for sensing sound, balance, and equilibrium in animals. In humans, the otic organ is referred to as the inner ear, which contains structures like the cochlea for hearing and the semicircular canals for balance.
What organ is a sense organ?
A sense organ is an organ of the 6 senses. The sense organs and senses are: the eyes--sight the nose--smell the tongue--taste the ears--hearing and balance the skin--touch
Which unit of the brain is responsible for the sense of balance?
Balance and hearing both derive from the same organ, the cochlea, therefore the auditory center of the brain is also responsible for perceiving balance.
What three senses rely on mechanoreceptors?
Balance touch and hearing
