The spiral-shaped organ of hearing within the inner ear, containing specialized sensory receptors.
The highly sensitive receptor of hearing which contains the hair cells and the auditory nerve endings. It is housed within the cochlea.
Structure in the inner ear that transforms mechanical forces produced from pressure waves ("sound waves") into action potentials that are sensed as sound.
a epithelial structure in the cochlea of the inner ear.
The actual hearing organ of the vertebrate ear, located in the floor of the cochlear canal in the inner ear; contains the receptor cells (hair cells) of the ear.
Structure in cochlea containing auditory hair cells responsible for auditory sensation.
is found in the cochlea and contains the hair cells important in auditory transduction
The sensory receptor hair cells lining the cochlea. These cells change the sound vibrations to electrical impulses and send the impulses to the brain via the vestibulocochlear nerve.
the part of the inner car that converts sound waves into nerve impulses that are then transmitted to the brain by the 8th cranial nerve – the auditory nerve.
This organ is located in the cochlea; it contains the hair cells that actually transmit sound waves from the ear through the auditory nerve to the brain as electric impluses.
A part of the cochlea which contains the tiny hairs that convert sound to nerve impulses. (See Cochlea).
the hearing organ of the inner ear; contains receptors that respond to sound waves
(KOR-ti) The structure within the inner ear that contains receptor cells sensitive to sound vibrations.
The part of the inner ear that contains thousands of hair-like cells; it functions as the switchboard of the hearing system by responding to different sound frequencies and converting them to nerve impulses
The structure built upon the basilar membrane inside of the spiral cochlea that contains the special sensory receptors (hair cells).
The system of hair cells in the mammalian cochlea of the inner ear which sorts sound by frequency and transduces it into nerve impulses. See the Ear.
The sensitive organ of hearing within the cochlear duct. The organ of Corti contains specialized cells called hair cells that transduce sound vibrations into electrical impulses.
The sensory structure within the cochlea, where sensory hair cells are located.
The organ within the cochlea which contains the hair cells that transduce sound vibrations into nerve signals, which are then carried by the auditory nerve to the brain.
Part of the cochlea; houses the auditory sensory receptors
The organ of Corti (or spiral organ) is the organ in the inner ear of mammals that contains auditory sensory cells, or "hair cells".
