Summary of hearing: Vibrations cause the cochlea’s membrane to shake. This causes ripples in the ____________, bending the _____
_______ lining its surface. Hair cells convert the messages into neurons that are then sent by the ____________ to the thalamus, then onto the _________ cortex in the _________lobe.
1 answer:
Answer:
1) Basilar membrane
2) Stereocilia or hair cells
3) Nerve cells
4) Auditory
5) Temporal lobe
Explanation:
Basilar membrane: located inside of the cochlea which is located in the inner ear. This membrane separates two tubes that is filled with liquid which is also important for hearing.
Hair cells: Connected to the basilar membrane and they acts as sensory receptors which can catch movements (ripples) in the basilar membrane and pass this message to the neurons.
Nerve cells: One of the main cell types in the brain, which are responsible for signal transfer.
Auditory cortex: This part of the brain is located in temporal lobe and handles the auditory information.
