The part of the ear which changes sound vibrartion into nerve impulses
Dear student,
Cochlea is a part of the ear which changes sound vibrartion into nerve impulses.
The cochlea is a tiny organ, coiled like a small shell and filld with a thick fluid. On its inner walls are sensitive, hairlike terminate of the auditory nerve. When the sound waves are tapped out on one end of the cochlea by the ''stirrup'' bone, the fluid inside is set to vibrating, the nerve terminals are agitated, and the message is started along the auditory nerve toward the brain.
Regards
