Answer 1

Hair cells are auditory receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals. Amplitude determines the loudness of the sound. Frequency determines the pitch of the sound.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Hair cells are auditory receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals.
2. Amplitude refers to the height or intensity of a sound wave and is related to the loudness of the sound.
3. Frequency is the number of sound waves or cycles per second and determines the pitch of the sound.
4. Loudness is the perception of the sound wave's intensity.
5. Location of the primary auditory cortex is in the temporal lobe of the brain, where sound processing and interpretation occur.
6. Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave. Higher frequencies are perceived as higher pitch, while lower frequencies are perceived as lower pitch.
7. Vestibular sense refers to the sense of balance and spatial orientation, which is connected to the inner ear.
