Sound enters the ear through this flap of cartilage
pinna
1 of 14
Sound goes via the ear canal to this thin membrane
tympanic
2 of 14
Vibrations in air are converted to vibrations in the fluid filled cochlea via the bones collectively known as the
ossicles
3 of 14
membrane that divides the cochlea
Reissner's
4 of 14
membrane that divides the cochlea
Basilar
5 of 14
The type of motion seen when the basilar membrane vibrates is known as
travelling
6 of 14
Because of this frequency selectivity, we can say that the Basilar membrane performs a kind of [ ] on incoming sounds.
coding
7 of 14
The Organ of [ ] sits ontop of the Basilar membrane
Corti
8 of 14
Its consists of cells known as [ ] cells.
hair
9 of 14
The hair cells have mini-hairs at their tips known as [ ]
stereocilia
10 of 14
When the Basilar Membrane is deflected, channels in the stereocilia of the hair cells open, causing [ ] ions to enter.
Potassium
11 of 14
Once the hair cells are depolarized, they release [ ] into the synaptic cleft, which dock on receptors of the auditory nerve.
Neurotransmitters
12 of 14
Type of coding in the auditory nerve
place
13 of 14
Type of coding in the auditory nerve
rate
