Which of the following are the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
A) hair cells
B) organs of Corti
C) basilar membranes
D) tectorial membranes
Basilar Membranes
A structure in the cochlea of the inner ear that vibrates in response to sound, playing a key role in the sensory coding of auditory signals.
Tectorial Membranes
A structure in the cochlea of the inner ear that is involved in the auditory sensing process, by interacting with hair cells to facilitate hearing.
Hair Cells
Sensory receptors for hearing that are attached to the basilar membrane in the cochlea.
