The inner ear is a snail-shaped structure called the cochlea, which is filled with fluid. When the oval window vibrates, it causes the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate. This fluid surrounds a membrane running through the middle of the cochlea called the basilar membrane.
The answer of your question is the Basilar Membrane.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to sound when it reaches the cochlea?
When sound waves reach the cochlea, they create pressure changes in the fluid-filled structure. This causes the basilar membrane within the cochlea to vibrate, stimulating hair cells located on the organ of Corti. These hair cells convert the mechanical vibrations into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve, allowing us to perceive sound.
When you hear sound which vibrates first. Your eardrum or the fluid in the cochlea?
The sound waves first vibrate the eardrum, which then transmits the vibrations to the fluid in the cochlea. The fluid in the cochlea contains sensory hair cells that convert the vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.
Movement of the stapes causes stimulation of fluid within the?
cochlea, which contains hair cells that convert the mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the auditory nerve and interpreted by the brain as sound.
Can you fill in the blank to total energy of a materials particles causes particles to vibrate in place?
All states of matter have vibrating particles, but solids' particles vibrate only.
Which part of the ear changes sound energy in to another form of energy?
The cochlea is the part of the ear that changes sound energy into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. It contains hair cells that vibrate in response to sound waves, converting them into neural signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
How do different pitches affect the cochlea?
Different pitches vibrate the cochlea at different places
What structure causes the malleus to vibrate?
Sound waves cause the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to vibrate, which in turn causes the malleus (hammer) to vibrate. This vibration is transmitted through the ossicles in the middle ear, ultimately leading to movement of the stapes against the oval window of the cochlea.
What job do the stapes do?
I'm guessing that the stapes vibrate against the cochlea. :)
How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea?
Sound waves cause the thin skin of the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration, in turn, vibrates a chain of three tiny bones which are attached, at one end of the chain, to the eardrum, and at the other end of the chain, to a thin drumlike structure on on the opening to the cochlea. The vibration of this "round window" as it is called, causes the fluid inside the cochlea to flow, which in turn causes tiny hairs inside the cochlea to move. These hairs, when moved, send signals to the brain which are interpreted as sound.

What are the Stirrups in the ear What do they do?
Sound is collected by the pinna (the visible part of the ear) and directed through the outer ear canal. The sound makes the eardrum vibrate, which in turn causes a series of three tiny bones (the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup) in the middle ear to vibrate. The vibration is transferred to the snail-shaped cochlea in the inner ear; the cochlea is lined with sensitive hairs which trigger the generation of nerve signals that are sent to the brain.
Which part of ear is filled with liqud that vibrates causing little hairs to move?
The cochlea is the part of the ear that is filled with fluid. When sound waves enter the cochlea, they cause the fluid to vibrate, which in turn causes tiny hair cells to move. These hair cells then convert the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
What causes molecules energy that causes them to vibrate?
Heat!
What is the middle ear used for?
The middle ear contains the three auditory ossicles, which vibrate to transfer the sound to the cochlea in the inner ear.
Describe how vibrations produced in your ear by a sound wave enable you to hear the sound?
When a sound wave enters the ear, it causes the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then passed through the three small bones in the middle ear to the cochlea, which is filled with fluid. The movement of the fluid stimulates hair cells in the cochlea, which convert the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain and interpreted as sound.
When you hear sound which vibrates first. Your eardrum or the fluid in the cochlea?
The sound waves first vibrate the eardrum, which then transmits the vibrations to the fluid in the cochlea. The fluid in the cochlea contains sensory hair cells that convert the vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.
How does conduction heat solids?
Heat energy from the source causes the particles to oscillate (vibrate) this chains and causes neighbouring particles to vibrate.
