Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rods and cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for vision, while hair cells are the sensory cells in the cochlea responsible for hearing. Eardrums are a component of the middle ear that vibrate in response to sound waves, while pinnae are the external ear structures that help to collect sound waves. The oval window is a membrane in the inner ear that separates the middle and inner ear and transmits vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea.
