What are the three major parts of the peripheral auditory system How does each function in detecting sound?
Outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer is the ear lobe, it collects pressure variations in the air. The middle acts as a transducer; changing high amplitude air waves into low amplitude liquid waves, and the inner ear changes the liquid waves into nerve impulses.
Receptors in the ear that translate sound waves into nerve impulses are?
mechanoreceptors
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.
What does Cochlea mean?
It is a part inside your ear it is orange in color and tastes like chicken...rotisserie chicken.
What are the energy changes in television?
really????? in the case of mains AC power, 1) power is (internally) converted to DC, in order to power the electronics --- still electrical energy. 2) an input signal is decoded and transformed into a/v signals --- still electrical in nature.???
What part of the ear changes the sound into electrical impulses?
the cilia inside the cochlea
What transmits sound waves to the inner ear making waves in the fluid in the cochlea?
The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea). ... The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.
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 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.
Is modem an adverb?
No, it is not an adverb. The word modem (from modulate-demodulate) is a noun, a device that changes electrical impulses into sound, and vice versa.
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.
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
What auditory nerve is responsible for?
The auditory nerve is responsible for relaying vibrations from the cochlea, in the inner ear, to the brain as electrical impulses. The auditory centre of the brain then interprets these as sound.
What converts sound to electrical impulses in the nervous system?
cochlea
What is the process called when the ear registers sound waves that are transformed into electrical signals that becomes neural impulses?
This process is called transduction. Sound waves are converted into electrical signals by hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear. These signals are then sent as neural impulses to the brain via the auditory nerve for processing.
Does the cochlea in the inner ear transform sound impressions into the nerve impulses?
yes. yes it does!
The purpose of the inner ear is to amplify sound?
The inner ear's main function is to convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. It contains the cochlea, which plays a crucial role in this process through the stimulation of hair cells that generate nerve impulses related to hearing. Amplification of sound primarily occurs in the middle ear, not the inner ear.
