Located on the basilar membrane are(is) the <u>organ of Corti</u><u> </u>containing hair cell sensory receptors for the sense of hearing.

The organ of Corti is also called basilar papilla which is a complex form of neuroepithelium composed of hair cells sensory receptors and supporting cells. In addition to these sensory and supporting cells, the organ of Corti also consists of a tectorial membrane. Endolymph which is a potassium-rich fluid surrounds the organ of Corti. The organs known as scala tympani and scala vestibule are present under and above the basilar papilla respectively.

The function of the organ of Corti is to generate electrical signals based on the sounds and transmit these signals to the brainstem through the passage of auditory nerves.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The excess production of glucagonoma release glucagon in the blood causing increase level of glucose in the blood which in turn causes type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Explanation:

The islet of Langerhans cells in pancreas contain alpha cell that are mainly responsible for increase glucose level in the blood by secreting glucagon hormone which prevents the fall of glucose level in the blood.The glucagon is stored in the liver and is released by the process of glycogenolysis.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a disease when the body fails to produce insulin hormone that is released by the beta cells of islet of Langerhans in pancreas,which acts to reduce the level of glucose in the blood and thus maintain an equilibrium of glucose in the body.
