Outer hair cells change their axial dimensions in response to electrical stimulation.
What is basilar membrane motion?
Hair cell stereocilia move as a result of the basilar membrane's movement. The tectorial membrane and the hair cells, which are connected to the basilar membrane, move along with it when it moves, and the stereocilia bend in response to the relative motion of the tectorial membrane.
The hair cells that are linked to the auditory nerve fibers are stimulated by the basilar membrane's movement. While the outside hair cells actively affect the basilar membrane's vibrations, the inner hair cells convert hydromechanical vibration into action potentials.
With each sound cycle, the intracellular voltage of the outer hair cells varies, causing them to lengthen and contract. This increases the organ of Corti's vibration, enabling exceptionally high hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

The time difference between the occurrences of two peaks is the period of the wave. The time difference between two consecutive black dots marked also gives the period of the wave. Generally, symbol ‘T’ is used to denote period in physics. Unit of measuring period is seconds (s).
Answer:
Why do marathon runners collapse and die? Some of the reasons why marathon runners often collapse near the finishing line is because the build-up of lactic acid in the blood during the run triggers abnormal heart rhythms and also exhaustion, emotional stress, dehydration and heat stroke
Coriolis effect is the phenomenon that most directly causes these atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns.
<h3>What is Coriolis effect?</h3>
This is defined as an apparent deflection of the path of an object that moves within a rotating coordinate system.
Atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns aride from deflection of the direction of air and water currents moving towards or away from the poles.
