What part of the ear changes vibrations into electrical signals?
Organ of Corti
Which part of the eye transmits signals to the brain?
Optic nerve
What is the colchlea and what does it do?
the cochlea is a vital part in your inner ear that transforms vibrations coming from the oval window ( preceeding area of inner ear that receives vibrations) into electrochemical impulses and travel down the auditory nerve into the brain for processing.
What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
the middle ear
What body part is the eye connected to?
By the optic nerve, which is connected to the brain. The optic nerves takes nerve signals from the retina and sends it to the brain.
What part of the ear changes vibrations into electrical signals?
Organ of Corti
What part of the nerve cell carries signals toward the part of the cell that houses the nucleus?
The part of the nerve cell that carries signals toward the dendrite part of the cell that houses the nucleus. Motor neurons convey signals from the CNS to effector cells.
Which part of the eye transmits signals to the brain?
Optic nerve
What part of the inner ear do the receptors convert sounds vibrations into nerve impulses?
Cochlea
Which part of the ear send nerve signals to the brain?
inner ear
What transfers vibrations to the inner ear?
No. Vibrations are changed into signals by the "hairs" (a part of nerve cells, not real hair) in the inner ear. The function of the bones of the middle ear is to change the low pressure, high amplitude sound waves into high pressure, low amplitude waves - for the inner ear to process.
What body system is the nerve cell in?
A nerve cell is part of the nervous system, a network of neurons that carry signals throughout the body.
Which part of the ear changes sound waves into electrical impulses?
None - except as an artifact. The nerve cells (auditory nerve) carry the signal chemically and produce electrical signals as a side effect of ion flows. Your brain ignores the electrical signal but responds to neuro-transmitters released by the nerve cells at synapses.
What part of the neuron that facilitates synaptic transmission of a signals is called?
the part that facilitates the the transmission of signals is collectively known as the axon but more peculiarly known as the nerve endings.
Where do auditory nerve signals originate?
The auditory nerve, which is part of cranial nerve VIII or the vestibulocochlear nerve, connects the hair cells of the cochlea in the inner ear with the cochlear nucleus, located in the brainstem at the junction of the pons and medulla.
Which part of the inner ear changes sound waves into electrical impulses?
None - except as an artifact. The nerve cells (auditory nerve) carry the signal chemically and produce electrical signals as a side effect of ion flows. Your brain ignores the electrical signal but responds to neuro-transmitters released by the nerve cells at synapses.
What section of the ear is lined with sensory cells?
The section of the ear known as the cochlea is the part of the ear with sensory cells. Vibrations from outside the ear, go into the ear and vibrate the parts of the ear, then the vibration continues to the cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped sensory organ within the ear that the vibration goes through. The nerves in the cochlea translate the vibrations into nerve signals, which continue to the brain where it is processed into recognizable sound, such as speech.
