Question

Describe the role of the cochlea in hearing.

Answer 1

The cochlea basically takes the vibrations from the sounds we hear and turns it into liquids which causes the stereo cilia to move and cause vibrations that are sent to the brain to be interpreted. So remeber from vibration to liquid to vibration to brain.

Answer 2

The cochlea transforms the sound in neural message. It translates the vibrations of auditory sound into impulses the brain can understand. This occurs at the organ of Corti, a structure consisting of tiny hairs throughout the cochlea that vibrate and send electrical signals through the nervous system.
