In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.

In the cochlea?
Sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses :)
What Sound vibration are converted into nerve impulses in the?
Cochlea apex
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
sound waves
What carries electrical impulses from the ear to the brain?
sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate.VIBRATIONS pass through 3 connected bones in the middle earThis motion SETS FLUID MOVING in the inner ear.Moving fluid bends thousands of delicate hair-like cells which convert the vibrations into NERVE IMPULSES.Nerve impulses are CARRIED to the brain by the auditory nerveIn the brain, these impulses are CONVERTED into what we "hear" as sound.
What is the function of the cochlea?
houses the spiral organ of corti which is the receptor organ for hearing.it sends electrial impulses to the brain
What does a microphone and speaker have in common?
They both convert between electrical impulses and sound waves. The microphone converts sound waves into electrical impulses and the loudspeaker converts electrical impulses into sound waves.
Where are the structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses located?
It is in the inner ear that we find the structures that translate the mechanical energy of sound into nerve impulses.
What converts sound to electrical impulses in the nervous system?
cochlea
In the cochlea?
Sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses :)
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
Receptors in the ear that translate sound waves into nerve impulses are?
mechanoreceptors
What Sound vibration are converted into nerve impulses in the?
Cochlea apex
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
sound waves
Does the cochlea in the inner ear transform sound impressions into the nerve impulses?
yes. yes it does!
What converts sound vibrations into electrical impulses?
The cochlea converts vibrations into electrical sounds
What is the use of the speaker?
A speaker converts the energy of discrete electrical impulses to the energy of sound waves in the air.
