What is the function of cochlea in the body?
the vibrations from the stirrup arrive at the cochlea, where the cilia (tiny hair like structures) take the vibration convert it into information at the nerve endings where the brain can understand and interpret the sound for us
Where would you find your cochlea?
The cochlea and the stirrups are all part of the inner ear system. The cochlea looks like a twisting snail's shell, and the stirrups look like stirrups on a horse saddle.
What does the human auditory system look like?
Well probably very gross. ----- Our ears are part of the auditory system, but most of the parts that we use to hear are inside our heads. There is an ear canal, the ear drum, three bones and a snail-shaped bit called the cochlea. Then signals travel along a nerve to the brain. There is a diagram here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system
Which part of the ear sends a message to the brain that is recognized as sound?
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.
Why is the ear shaped the way it is?
The visible portion of the ear is shaped in such a way that it best amplifies sound. A pig's ear is large and concave so that it can trap sound waves and amplify them inside the pig's ear for optimum hearing.
What is the seat of the hearing organ shaped like a snail?

What is the shape of a cochlea?
It is spiral shaped like a snail
What shape is the cochlea in your ear?
The cochlea is shaped in a spiral, kind of like a snail shell.
Where is the cohoclea?
the cochlea are located in the ear. It is a spiral-shaped cavity of the inner ear that resembles a snail shell and contains nerve endings essential for hearing.
Where is the name of the part of the ear that is shaped like a snail's shell?
Cochlea
What is the Cochlea function?
a cochlea function is something ..... i dont know because i am in grade5
Where is the cochlea located?
Yes. It is a snail-shell shaped organ with tiny hairs lining the inside that move to sound waves, sending impulses to the brain, which the brain translates as sound.
What causes the cochlea to vibrate?
The inner ear is a snail-shaped structure called the cochlea, which is filled with fluid. When the oval window vibrates, it causes the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate. This fluid surrounds a membrane running through the middle of the cochlea called the basilar membrane. The answer of your question is the Basilar Membrane.
Which of the auditory structures has the appearance of a snail?
cochlea
What is a neat fact about the cochlea?
It looks like a snail!
What is an explanation of How can we hear?
Sound waves travel into the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones or ossicles into the inner ear. The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is also called the cochlea. Inside the cochlea, there are thousands of tiny hair cells. Hair cells change the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain through the hearing nerve. The brain tells you that you are hearing a sound and what that sound is.
