[amp_mcq option1=”Vestibule” option2=”Tympanic membrane” option3=”Semicircular canals” option4=”Cochlea” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is D. Cochlea.<\/p>\n
The cochlea is a snail-shaped, fluid-filled organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves into nerve signals that are sent to the brain. The cochlea is lined with tiny hair cells that vibrate in response to sound waves. These vibrations cause the hair cells to send electrical signals to the brain, which interprets these signals as sound.<\/p>\n
The vestibule and semicircular canals are also located in the inner ear, but they are responsible for balance and equilibrium, not hearing. The tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is located in the middle ear and vibrates in response to sound waves. These vibrations are transmitted to the inner ear by the ossicles, three small bones in the middle ear.<\/p>\n
