Where are the sensory receptors of the semicircular canals located?
Both of these are in the ear. The semi-circular canals help you to balance and the cochlea transmits nerve signals to the brain. This is how you hear. The inner ear is subdivided into the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea. The semicircular canals and cochlea are separate structures with different functions. The receptors for balance are in the semicircular canals, and the organ of Corti (the organ of hearing) is in the cochlea.

What does Cochlea mean?
It is a part inside your ear it is orange in color and tastes like chicken...rotisserie chicken.
How does temperature affect glue?
Different types of glues take different temperatures to set and harden them.
How do sound vibrations affect structures in the ear to produce the sensation of hearing?
3 Factors fall into actions for this to happen. Amplitude of the wave frequency of the wave and wavelength. The amplitude determines the tone of the sound waves the frequency the pitch and the wavelength the type of wave i.e. which instrument or person is producing it. The different combinations provide specific identifications of the substances producing these sounds and what type of sounds they are.
Describe how sounds of different frequency pitch are differentiated in the cochlea?
Pitches are differentiated by the length and tension of the basilar membrane fibers.
How is hearing affected if a person 's cochlea is damaged?
The cochlea is the part of the inner ear that takes vibrations, transferred from sound waves hitting the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and converts them into signals for the auditory nerve. Different parts of the cochlea "encode" different frequencies (pitches) of sound. Therefore, if only part of the cochlea is damaged, a person may lose the ability to hear certain frequencies of sound. If it is damaged enough, the person may lose the ability to hear completely in one ear.
How does the cochlea work?
The cochlea is responsible for hearing and is filled with fluid. When the oval window vibrates the fluid in the inner ear moves around. The membrane inside the cochlea has different levels of thickness and the vibrations have different frequency and correspond to different pitches of sound that the ear interprets. The oval windows vibration frequency is transmitted through the fluid wave within the inner ear. The fluid crosses over the membrane, depending on the frequency and stimulates nerves that transmit a signal to the brain.
Is the cochlea and the eardrum the same thing?
No. The eardrum (also known as the timpanic membrane) is a membrane that helps amplify sounds. The cochlea is deeper inside the ear, behind the eardrum. It is like a tube with little tiny hairs that vibrate at different sound frequencies which transmit information to the brain to help us percieve sound at different tones and pitches.
