A key structure in the cochlea of the inner ear that plays a crucial role in the mechanical process that converts sound waves into nerve impulses.

Hair Cells

Tiny sensory cells found in the inner ear that translate sound vibrations into neural signals.

Auditory Nerve

The nerve that transmits sound information from the inner ear to the brain.

Eardrum

A thin, tightly stretched membrane located in the middle ear that vibrates in response to sound waves, aiding in the transmission of sound to the inner ear structures.
