Tiny hairs located in what conduct sound to the brain?
Tiny hairs in your ear conduct vibration and convey that to your brain
What is the receptor for sound waves in the middle ear?
The middle ear does not really deal with the sound it just passes it though. The receptors are in the INNER ear. They are cells in the walls of the cochlea attached to minute hairs floating in the cochlear liquid.
How does the shape of a hair cell help its function?
So that it can let your hair grow In the cochlea of your inner ear you have cells that have little hairs projecting off them in what is called the organ of Corti. This is where sound vibrations that are transmitted through your ear drum, and then through the tiny bones on your middle ear, get changed into nerve signals. The hairs vibrate in response to the sound waves, and they act as transducers that change the pressure oscillations in the fluid into nerve impulses. Long and thin so can form hair bundles which increase number of waves that can pass along them
Can you see fluid in ear?
The fluids in the ear are the very way in which we hear. Hearing is broken down when sound waves (noise) enters through the ear and structure like the anvil and hammer. These structures vibrate and send vibrations down to a fluid filled pool that vibrates the fluid. The vibrating waves of the fluid are intercepted by microscopic hairs called cilia (most likely that is the scientific name). These cilia read and transform these vibrations into neurological signals that are then sent to the brain and interpreted.

How do you prevent ear hairs from growing longer?

What does the ear canal look like?

What happens to an ear when sound waves travel through it?
Sound travels into the ear where it goes into the ear drum which looks similar to a snail shell which has many many tiny hairs attached to it. When the sound waves hit the hairs, the hairs begin to vibrate according to the frequency of the sound waves. Certain hairs register certain frequencies and sends signals to the brain which registers those vibrations as sound.
Tiny hairs in the inner ear help the body maintain.?
Balance
How does your hearing work?
Sound vibrates the inner ear to stimulate hairs in the cochlear.
What is a cavern-like bone with tiny hairs and fluid?
The inner ear or the cochlea
What do you call the hair inside the corn?
The "hairs" inside an ear of corn are corn silk.
What is the part of the ear associated with high pitched noises?
It is due to the sensitive hairs found in your ear. This causes noises to vibrate, where we are able to hear them. As we age, are hairs lose their once youthful strength, and some high pitched noises are difficult to hear.
What does the Cochlea do for the ear?
The stirrup hits the cochlea and it sends waves through the liquid inside of it. These waves move the tiny hairs at the start of the auditory nerve. The hairs use the auditory nerve to make a cricket noise in your ear to send the vibrations to the brain.
What happens when some one looses one of the hairs in their ear?
My partner picks the hairs from my ears quite regually with tweezers its never done my hearing or me any harm
