How do different pitches affect the cochlea?
Different pitches vibrate the cochlea at different places
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.
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 do humans and other animalsdetect sound energy?
When sound waves travel through the compressions and rarefactions of the air molecules, the pinnain our outer ear picks up all of these and sends them through our ear tube. The ear drum, a stretched membrane which separates our outer ear and middle ear, starts vibrating due to the air molecules. These vibrations then strike the delicate, interlocked bones- Anvil, Stirrup, Hammer; starts vibrating. These are the smallest bones in the body. This then sends the vibrations through the organ of hearing or the cochlea. The cochlea then sends this to the brain through the auditory nerve. Above the cochlea is the organ of balance, which has a fluid in it. It is due to this fluid that we become dizzy when rotate at a high speed.
How do you hear in detail?
Your Auricle (outer ear) funnels sound waves through the external auditory meatus (passage in your ear fromt he outter ear to the middle ear) to the tympanic membrane (ear drum.) Your tympanic membrane vibrates. These vibrations are sent through the maleus, incus, and stapes (the three smallest ear bones in your body and ear) to the cochlea (a shell like peice.) Fluid in the cochlea moves the vibrations past tiny hairs that send a message to the brain through the eighth cranial nerve. That is how you hear sound. in detail.
