Question

When the head is tilted, what are the structures the signal passes through on its way to becoming a fully processed neural signal within the brain?
When the head is tilted, the fluid within the_____of the inner ear moves. The exact location of stimulated cells depends on the plane of movement-with each plane being represented by a different part of that structure. The movement of fluid stimulates______which transduce the signal into an electrical signal. This signal travels through the_____nerve to the____nucleus of the_____.

Answer 1

Answer:

The fluid within the semicircular ducts of the inner ear, that is, endolymph moves when the head is tilted. The precise position of the stimulated cells relies upon the plane of movement with each vertical or horizontal plane being signified by distinct parts of its composition. The hair cells that transduce the signal into an electrical signal get stimulated due to the movement of fluid. The conduction of this signal takes place via the auditory nerve to the cochlear nucleus of the brainstem.

Within the inner ear cochlea, the stimulation of the hair cells or stereocilia takes place by endolymph, it is a fluid present in semicircular ducts. After stimulation, the hair cells mediate electric signals to the brain via the auditory nerve, these are the nerve bundles that carry signals of sound. The initial central auditory composition found in the brainstem is the Cochlea nucleus.
