Answer 2

Answer:

Organ of corti is found in Internal ear.

Option A

Explanation:

An organ of Corti is the organ that is a part inside the cochlea of the internal ear. This organ of Corti has a variety of cells. Out of these cells, one type of cell is the hair cells. These hair cells help in the hearing or audition.

The hair cells get deflected when a push in the perilymph comes and hits the hair cells. This push or deflection leads to an opening of the sodium-potassium channels in the endolymph which leads to change in membrane voltage thereby membrane potential. This change in membrane potential is carried by the auditory nerve to brain as hearing.
