The cochlea has hairs cells that ride on the basilar membrane. These hair cells convert the mechanical vibration of sound waves into an electrical signal and excite the auditory nerve's 30 000 fibers. The auditory nerve transports the signal to the brainstem. Since each hair cell is on a different part of the basilar membrane, each hair cell is best excited by a different frequency. Thus, each nerve fiber carries auditory information about a different frequency to the brain.

What part of the inner ear is responsible for hearing?
Cochlea is the part of inner ear, which detects sound waves.
Where in your body can you find the cochlea?
YOUR EARS : Sound comes into the inner ear as vibrations and enters the cochlea
Where in the body would you find the cochlea and stirriup?
Inner ear
What part of the ear contains the cochlea?
The inner ear.
Hoe does the cochlea of the inner ear help you hear?
The cochlea is a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear that plays a crucial role in hearing. It contains fluid and sensory cells called hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals. When sound waves enter the cochlea, they create fluid waves that stimulate the hair cells, which then send these electrical signals to the brain via the auditory nerve. This process allows us to perceive and interpret sounds.
Is the cochlea located in the inner ear?
Yes, the cochlea is located in the inner ear.
Is the cochlea located in the middle ear?
No, the cochlea is located in the inner ear, not the middle ear.
What is the inner ear?
the cochlea
Where in the ear is the auditory nerve?
it is in the cochlea of the inner ear
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.
In your ear a part that looks like a coiled tube is the?
cochlea
What is the central part of the inner ear called?
i think it is the cochlea
What is the coiled tube in the inner ear?
The coiled tube of the inner ear is called the Cochlea.
What part of the ear do you need to hear?
Most of the inner ear is required. The transduction of sound to neural firing requires cochlea and all the nerves to work.
What is the fancy name of the inner ear?
Cochlea.
How can we hear a sound wave?
Sound waves travel into the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones or ossicles into the inner ear. The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is also called the cochlea. Inside the cochlea, there are thousands of tiny hair cells.Thankyou.
What occurs when sound waves don't pass through the outer to the inner ear?
You don't hear anything. They don't actually have to get there through the outer ear. If your ear is plugged, or if your 'tympanum' (ear drum) is broken, the vibrations can conduct through the bone that you feel behind your ear. But they do have to get to the inner ear somehow. If vibrations don't reach the cochlea in the inner ear, then you don't hear anything.
