Definitions:

Cochlea

A spiral-shaped, fluid-filled inner ear structure that is essential for converting sound waves into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.

Waves

are disturbances or variations that travel through a medium, such as air, water, or vacuum, transferring energy from one point to another without permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

Auditory Receptors

Specialized cells located in the inner ear that convert sound waves into electrical signals, which are interpreted by the brain as sound.

Cochlea

A spiral-shaped cavity of the inner ear that is primarily responsible for converting sound vibrations into nerve impulses.
