The stimulation of auditory nerves depends on the opening and closing of channels in the auditory hair cells.Which type of gating mechanism do these cells use?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The auditory hair cells use stress-gated channels to stimulate auditory nerves. These channels open and close in response to mechanical stress or deformation, such as the vibrations caused by sound waves, allowing ions to flow and generate an electrical signal that is interpreted by the brain as sound.
