Write a short note on cochlea
Answers
Answer:
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Explanation:
The cochlea is a portion of the inner ear that looks like a snail shell (cochlea is Greek for snail.) The cochlea receives sound in the form of vibrations, which cause the stereocilia to move. The stereocilia then convert these vibrations into nerve impulses which are taken up to the brain to be interpreted.

➝ Cochlea
Cochlea is the coiled portion of the labyrinth (of internal ear).
The Reissner's membrane and basilar membrane divide the perilymph - filled bony labyrinth into an upper scala vestibuli and lower scala tympani and the central scala media.
Scala media is filled with endolymph.
Organ of corti, the structure unit of hearing, consists of hair cells which are the auditory receptors; they are located on the basilar membrane.
The basal end is in close contact with the afferent nerve fibres.
The hair cells possess stereocilia that project from the apical part of each hair cell.
A thin, elastic tectorial membrane lies over the row of hair.
