Detailed explanation-1: -This action is passed onto the cochlea, a fluid-filled snail-like structure that contains the organ of Corti, the organ for hearing. It consists of tiny hair cells that line the cochlea. These cells translate vibrations into electrical impulses that are carried to the brain by sensory nerves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cochlea: Coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear that transforms sound vibrations to auditory signals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Endolymph is enclosed by a heterogeneous epithelium that consists in the cochlea of about 12 different epithelial cell types that include the sensory hair cells. Endolymph is an unusual extracellular fluid in that its composition is reminiscent of an intracellular fluid.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sound vibrations cause fluid inside the cochlea to ripple, and a traveling wave forms along the basilar membrane. The wave causes the cilia to move up and down. Cilia near the base of the cochlea detect higher-pitched frequencies, such as a cell phone ringing.
