The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea). ... The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.

Describe the location and function of the eardrum and the cochlea?

The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is located at the end of the ear canal. It vibrates in response to sound waves and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear. The cochlea is a spiral-shaped structure located in the inner ear that converts these vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation as sound.


The cochlea is a fluid -filled organ of the?

The cochlea is a fluid-filled organ of the inner ear responsible for converting sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing. It houses the hair cells that respond to different frequencies of sound. The movement of the fluid inside the cochlea stimulates these hair cells and allows us to hear.


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.
