the basilar membrane

72
Q

physiology of cochlea

A

stapes moves, displaces perilymph, basilar membrane moves, hair cells at organ of corti are bent, cilia bend and ionic exchange occurs, release of neurotransmitters, electrical impulses via VIII nerve to brain

low levels generated in ear in response to sound only in normal ears. Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions

76
Q

OAE

A

became screening test for newborns
-infants that ears produce evoked emissions have normal peripheral hearing or hearing loss no worse than 30dB

80
Q

auditory nerve

A

the 8th cranial nerve that carries the info from the inner ear to the brain about hearing and balance
1. attaches to brainstem 2. auditory and vestibular portion of VIII nerve separate.

81
Q

cochlear microphonic

A
  • basically the cochlea does the same thing that a microphone does to different forms of energy
  • stereocilia stretch causing release of K+ ions into hair cells causing change in the resting potential and release of transmitter substance (glutamate)-compare to changes in form of energy in a microphone
  • acoustic energy–> mechanical–>electrical (after strikes hairs and goes to cochlea nerve–>through 5 nuclei–> on the way up to temporal lobe
82
Q

action potential

A
  1. auditory neurons stimulated by hair cells 2. change in electrical potential occurs on the site of the neuron. 3. increases in intensity of the auditory input signal to the cochlea, increase electrical output from hair cells.

involved in hearing, integral portion of auditory pathways in CNS

Neurons conducting impulses from the structures of the inner ear to the brain all synapse in inferior colliculi

93
Q

high frequency

A

basal end of cochlea only

94
Q

low frequency

A

apical end of cochlea and all through

95
Q

how are humans capable of frequency discrimination

A

auditory nerve fibers are sharply tuned

96
Q

are spacing between nerve fibers equal?

A

no

97
Q

vestibular

A

informs brain about head movement and helps maintain balance

found in the inner ear

contains the semicircular canal, utricle, and saccule

98
Q

what is a decibel

A

1/10th of a Bel

unit of measurement of intensity used in acoustics and audio metrics

99
Q
