What receptors provide the sense of hearing?
Hair cells
How do sensory hair cells in the ear contribute to our sense of hearing?
Sensory hair cells in the ear detect sound vibrations and convert them into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. This process allows us to perceive and interpret sounds, contributing to our sense of hearing.
The sense of hearing depends on which specialized cells?
The mechanoreceptors responsible for the sense of hearing are contained in the Organ of Corti. It has 16,000 hearing receptor cells located on the basilar membrane of each inner ear.A movement of the hair cells against tectorial membrane stimulates dendrites that terminate around the base of hair cells and initiates an impulse conduction by the cochlear nerve to the brainstem.Impulses pass through 'relay stations' in the nuclei in medulla, pons, midbrain, and thalamus before reaching the auditory area of temporal lobe of the brain.
What are hair cells and what is their relationship to the auditory nerve?
the out hair cells (OHC)push against the tectorial membrane in response to efferent innervation from the CNS the seventh cranial nerve it's the inner hair cells (IHC) that provide the sense of hearing afferent innervation to the CNS the eighth cranial nerve
The part of the ear responsible for our sense of valance is the?
vestibular
What kinds of receptors are hair cells rod cells and cone cells to which of your senses do these cells contribute and what does each do?
Hair cells are mechanoreceptors found in the inner ear that contribute to the sense of hearing and balance. Rod cells and cone cells are photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, contributing to the sense of vision; rod cells are responsible for low-light (scotopic) vision, while cone cells enable color vision and function best in bright light. Together, these receptors play crucial roles in how we perceive sound and light.
What Cells are found in all Sense organs?
All sense organs contain specialized sensory receptor cells that detect specific types of stimuli. For example, photoreceptor cells are found in the eyes, hair cells in the ears, and chemoreceptor cells in the nose and taste buds. Additionally, all sense organs contain supporting cells and neurons that transmit sensory information to the brain. These cells work together to enable the perception of various sensory inputs.
Why is hair the least important part of the body?
It is useless, they're just dead cells. If they were alive, cutting your hair would hurt.
What cells provide for the sense of smell?
Olfactory receptor cells located in the nasal epithelium are responsible for detecting smells. When odor molecules bind to these receptor cells, they trigger a signal that is sent to the brain for interpretation.
The sense of taste and smell both involve the nervous system binding molecules to specialized hair cells in the mouth and nose?
true
What are your cilia cells?
They are the cells that the hairs in your nostrils connect too. They are the cells that let the hair grow and move which is important because they help filter particles that enter the nasal cavity.
What type of cells form hair?
Err... Hair cells on inside, hair follicles on the outside.
