    1. AReissner's membrane and the Basilar membrane
    2. BReissner's membrane and the tympanic membrane
    3. CWundt's membrane and the tympanic membrane
    4. DWundt's membrane and the Basilar membrane
  3. 3How is the cochlea organised?

  5. 5How is the mechanical energy transduced into neural energy within the organ of corti?
    1. ACochleic cells are pushed up, bending the stereocilia against the tectorial membrane, causing an action potential
    2. BCochleic cells are pushed up, bending the stereocilia against the basilar membrane, causing an action potential
    3. CHair cells are pushed up, bending the stereocilia against the basilar membrane, causing an action potential
    4. DHair cells are pushed up, bending the stereocilia against the tectorial membrane, causing an action potential

    1. ATo relieve the pressure in the fluid filling the vestibular and tympanic canals
    2. BTo let osmosis occur between the vestibular and tympanic canals
    3. CTo let osmosis occur between the scala media and tympanic canal
    4. DTo relieve the pressure in the fluid filling the scala media and tympanic canal
