The bulging of the membrane creates a shearing motion for the hair cells of the organ of Corti, generating electrical potentials that stimulate the auditory nerve. The bulging of the basilar membrane ...

The process of determining what a sound is begins at a flat sheet of tissue (in the cochlea of the inner ear) called the basilar membrane. The basilar membrane detects the component frequencies ...

The perilymph fluid wave causes a frequency-specific movement of the basilar membrane. This results in excitation of the corresponding hair cells and the generation of a cochlear nerve impulse.

These modes affect how sound waves travel along the basilar membrane, with hair cells playing a key role in amplification. #hearingscience #cochlea #medindia’ Benjamin Machta, an assistant ...

Figure 5 shows a short section of the organ of Corti as it spirals in the cochlea. The organ of Corti is larger and the basilar membrane on which it sits is longer as it gets further away from the ...

Once sound waves enter the cochlea, they become surface waves that travel along the cochlea's hair-lined basilar membrane. "Each pure tone rings at one point along this spiral organ," said Asheesh ...
