There are several (a lot) of tiny hair like structures inside the ear will vibrate in response to certain sound frequencies. When a hair vibrates, it stimulates a particular cell which sends a signal to the neurons next to it, to the brain. The brain takes all of the inputs and can interpret that as sounds and frequencies. Louder sounds will cause it to vibrate more, so the brain can interpret that as well.

What organ do we use to hear sounds and how does it work?

We use our ears to hear sounds. The ear collects sound waves, which are then transmitted as electrical signals to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain interprets these signals as sounds.


What is hearing?

Your eardrums take fluctuations of the air pressure on your ears and converts them to electrical pulses, which are sent to the brain. The brain then interprets the electrical signals as different sounds.


What does the cochlea turn the vibrations into?

The cochlea turns vibrations into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve. These electrical signals are interpreted by the brain as sound.


Which structure takes electrical signals to the brain?

The optic nerve carries electrical signals from the eyes to the brain for visual processing.


After your ears convert sound waves into electrical signals where are the signals sent for interpretation?

The electrical signals generated by the ears are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve for interpretation. The brain processes and interprets these signals to create the perception of sound.


What sends electrical impulses from the rods and cones to the brain?

The optic nerve sends electrical signals from the rods and cones in the retina to the brain. These signals are then interpreted by the brain as visual information, allowing us to see.


How do we hear and understand Sounds?

Sounds enter the ear canal and vibrate the eardrum. These vibrations are transmitted through tiny bones in the middle ear to the cochlea, where they are converted into electrical signals by hair cells. These signals are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve for processing and interpretation, allowing us to understand and perceive the sounds.


Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?

Sound waves pass through the cochlea and cause tiny hair cells to bend, which generates electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are interpreted as sounds.


How the nerves transmit signals to the brain?

Nerves use electrical impulses to transmit signals to the brain. The gaps between the nerve endings are called synapses.


What carries electrical signals trough our body?

Nerves do. Your brain sends electrical signals through your nerves to your muscles to make you move. Signals from the far ends travel through nerves back to your brain, so you can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel.


What are the electrical signals called which are sent to our brain?

There are a few things that pass message from the ear to the brain. The most likely answer is the ear canal.


How signals move through the nervous system?

In the nervous system, electrical signals travel throughout the brain and into the body via nerves and nerve fibers. Electrical signals are how the brain tells the body what it should do.
