A watery liquid called the perilymph moves inside the cochlea and responds to vibrations coming from the middle ear. This fluid moves over the hair cells and converts the motion into electrical signals.

What is the System of tubular pathways inside the Cochlea?
System of tubular pathways inside the Cochlea
What is inside an ear?
cochlea. eardrum. hammer. EAR WAX.
Where the cochlea is contained?
Inside your head. The inner ear.
What is the name of the liquid present inside the cochlea?
endolymph
What Inside the cochlea contains hearing receptor cells?
Semicircular Canal
What part of the ear changes the sound into electrical impulses?
the cilia inside the cochlea
What does the Cochleae do?
the stirrup hits the cochlea and it sends waves through the liquid inside of it
What is destroyed by extended exposure to loud noise?
The hair cells inside the cochlea
Does the cochlea keep both sides of the eardrum equal?
No. The cochlea transmit sound from the eardrum. The Eustachian tubes keep the pressure inside the ear equalized with the external pressure.
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
What part of the inner ear is spiral shaped?
cochela Cochlea
How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea?
Sound waves cause the thin skin of the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration, in turn, vibrates a chain of three tiny bones which are attached, at one end of the chain, to the eardrum, and at the other end of the chain, to a thin drumlike structure on on the opening to the cochlea. The vibration of this "round window" as it is called, causes the fluid inside the cochlea to flow, which in turn causes tiny hairs inside the cochlea to move. These hairs, when moved, send signals to the brain which are interpreted as sound.
