How do the parts of the ear work together to convert sound waves into nerve impulses?

We all know how the sound waves are detected, through minuscule hairs. Each of these hairs is connected to an individual nerve termination so, when vibrated, the brain receives an electrical pulse from that individual hair. Each hair is set at a certain distance and length, so each individual hair reacts differently to the next.
The brain then cleverly processes all these electrical pulse combinations to find the corresponding pitches and frequencies and allows you to hear the resulting sound.

Which of these parts receive nerve impulses?
dendrites receive electrical and chemical signals from axon terminals.
What part of the brain relays impulses between the brain and other body parts?
nerve
Which parts of the brain receive the impulses from the auditory nerve?
This is accomplished via the cochlear nerve (one of the two branches of the eighth cranial nerve).
Parts of a multipolar neuron its order of receiving nerve impulses?
write the following parts of a multipolar neuron in the correct order(1-8) of receiving and sending the nerve impulse. Start with the dendrites as number one.
A collection of nerve fibers through which impulses travel between the central nervous system and other parts of the body?
nervous system
How do crayfish transmit nerve impulses to parts of their body?
by eating bread
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses?
dendrites receive electrical and chemical signals from axon terminals.
What are the cells that transmit nerve impulses between parts of the nervous system?
yes
What are the two parts of the neurons for sensing and returning nerve impulses int he body?
The dendrite and the axon.

nerve

nervous system
What is the function of axon terminal?
the primary function is to send nerve signals to the various parts of the body
How does the brain send and receive messages from our body?
The brain receive messages from the other parts of the body through nerve impulses.
What are the different parts of the nerve system?
The Central Nervous System (CNS) comprises of 4 main parts; the forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain and spinal cord. All four parts and linked together and each tend to control specific parts of the vertebrate. In humans the forebrain is the most developed of the 'three brains' and allows us to hold a stronger understanding of our surrounded compared to that shown by other vertebrates. There are two main categories of nerves which carry nerve impulses in and out of the CNS, spinal and cranial. Cranial nerves are nerves which emerge from the brain stem (considered to be part of the midbrain), and are one of three types. Sensory, which carries nerve impulses into the CNS. Motor, which carries nerve impulses away from the CNS. And mixed, which carries nerve impulses both into and away from the CNS. Spinal nerves are located in the vertebras of the spin and contain sensory neurons which are located in the dorsal roots, motor neurons which are located in the ventral roots and relay neurons which are located in the grey matter.
What is a nerve cells job?
its if you hurt yourself eg. stub your toe then it will send a quick message to your brain telling it were it hurts so you know.
