Frage 13 von 41

1

What is the correct process in which sound is perceived?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

Conduction of soundwave from oval window -> Moves back and dissipates and wobbles the basilar membrane located in the cochlear -> deflects stereocilia that have mechanically gated K+ channels at the tip -> opens them and this causes depolarisation -> Ca2+ entry due to VG Ca2+ opening upon depolarisation -> causes NT release and action potential in sensory neuron -> stereocilia move back to original place after sound has dissipated.

Frage 14 von 41

1

Which area of the cochlea/basilar membrane are receptive to high and low frequency sounds?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

Erklärung

Frage 15 von 41

1

Why are lower frequency sounds detected further along the length of the cochlea?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

The basilar membrane is narrow and stiff at the base and wide and floppy at the apex and therefore low energy sounds wobble the apex which is picked up by the brain as a low frequency sound.
The basilar membrane is wide and floppy at the base and narrow and stiff at the apex and therefore high energy sounds such as those that are low frequency wobble the apex which is picked up by the brain as a low frequency sound.
Low frequency sounds have higher energy and travel further along the basilar membrane. This causes deflection of the stereocilia further along the length of the cochlea and therefore detection of low frequency sounds.

Erklärung
