What else can I help you with?
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 does Cochlea mean?
It is a part inside your ear it is orange in color and tastes like chicken...rotisserie chicken.
How do sensory systems work?
well, sight works when the lens focuses light onto the retina where different colours are applied along the optic nerve where the image is flipped the right way up by the cerrablellum. you hear things when the vibrations that make up sound vibrate your eardrum which is connected to the cochlea which houses nerve ending to translate the vibrations back into sound. taste works when bits of food dissolved in saliva come into contact with taste bits that make up a profile of the taste and send it to the brain. smell works when tiny particles in the air reach the smell receptors. touch works when the nervous system contains nerves which send profiles of textures to the cerebral cortex.
How the sound travels inside the ear?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
How does sound travel through gas?
Sound travels by sound waves. Sound waves are vibrations of the gas particles which result in repeated squeezings/pullings away of the gas molecules. We usually say compressions and rarefactions. If you are in the presence of sound waves, they will enter your ears and make your eardrum move in and out very slightly. This movement is carried to the auditory nerve by tiny bones in your inner ear. The auditory nerves carry the tiny electrical impulses that the brain then deciphers as sound. The most common example of sound traveling through a gas is always around us, and that 'gas' is air. (really a number of gases mixed together.) This is why you cannot hear sounds in outer space . . . there IS no gas or anything else to carry sound waves.
Where are the structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses located?
The structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses are located in the inner ear. Specifically, the hair cells in the cochlea are responsible for converting sound waves into nerve impulses that can be transmitted to the brain for processing.
What contains receptor that convert sound vibrations to impulses sent to the brain?
The cochlea in the inner ear contains receptors called hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical impulses. These impulses are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are interpreted as sound.
What are structures adapted to convert stimuli into nerve impulses called?
Structures adapted to convert stimuli into nerve impulses are called receptors. Receptors can be specialized cells or structures within the body that detect a specific type of stimulus, such as light, sound, pressure, or chemicals, and then convert that stimulus into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system.
Where are Sound Vibration Are Converted In To Nerve Impulses?
Sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses in the inner ear. The vibrations are detected by hair cells in the cochlea, which then stimulate the auditory nerve to send signals to the brain for processing and interpretation of sound.
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
What contains receptors that convert sound vibrations to impulses that are sent to the brain?
The cocheal contains receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into impulses that are sent to the brain.
What transmits sound from the inner ear to the brain?
The auditory nerve transmits sound signals from the inner ear to the brain. It carries electrical impulses generated by the hair cells in the cochlea to the brainstem, where the signals are further processed and interpreted as sound.
What is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
The auditory receptors in the human ear are called hair cells, which are located in the cochlea. These hair cells convert sound waves into neural impulses that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.
How does sound travel to your brains?
the sound wave vibrate the cochlea in your ear (a small snail like organ in your ear) the fluid inside it shake touching receptors your brain takes the vibrations and and relays the info
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
What if your senses of hearing and touch both depend on nerve impulses being generated by?
If both senses of hearing and touch depend on nerve impulses being generated by sensory receptors, any damage or impairment to these receptors or the nerve pathways carrying the impulses could result in a loss or reduction in hearing and tactile sensation. This can lead to difficulties in perceiving sound and touch stimuli accurately. Treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause of the nerve impairment or exploring interventions to help compensate for the sensory deficits.
What carry the impulses from the ear to the brain?
The impulses from the ear are carried to the brain by the auditory nerve, also known as the eighth cranial nerve or vestibulocochlear nerve. This nerve is responsible for transmitting sound and balance information from the inner ear to the brainstem.
