Cochlear Mechanics
The cochlear duct plays a crucial role in sound perception, with hair cells sitting between two membranes—the basilar and tectoral membranes. As the tympanic canal vibrates, it causes fluid movement that activates the hair cells, particularly their stereocilia, which are essential for converting mechanical vibrations into electrical signals interpreted as sound. Understanding this intricate process sheds light on how we perceive auditory information.In this clip
