The organ of Corti rests on the basilar membrane within the cochlea of the inner ear. This membrane is essential for detecting sound vibrations and transducing them into neural signals for the brain to interpret.
It is in the inner ear.
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.
The cochlea is the place where sound is actually sensed by nerves to create a signal that can travel to the brain. The rest of the ear serves only to collect sound and transmit it to the cochlea.
No, the malleus, incus, and stapes are all part of the middle ear, involved in transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The Organ of Corti is located in the inner ear and is responsible for converting these vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.
The organ of Corti is a specialized structure in the inner ear that is responsible for converting sound vibrations into neural signals. It contains hair cells that are sensitive to different frequencies of sound. When sound waves reach the organ of Corti, they cause the hair cells to bend, which triggers the release of neurotransmitters to send signals to the brain via the auditory nerve.

The Corti organ, also known as the organ of Corti, is located within the cochlea of the inner ear. It is an important structure responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
organ of corti, is a receptor organ that generates nerve impulse in response to vibration of the basilar membrane.
Basically, yes. The organ of Corti contains the hearing receptors (little hairs) that allow us to hear.

yes
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
