The mechanical system or chain reaction of vibrations triggered by sound waves are transformed into neural impulses by

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear convert mechanical vibrations into neural impulses that are then transmitted to the brain to be interpreted as sound. The eardrum and oval window serve to transmit the sound waves, but do not directly transform them into neural impulses. The auditory cortex in the brain receives and processes these neural impulses after they have been transmitted from the hair cells.
