The mechanical responses of the OHCs appear to act as a cochlear

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The OHCs act as a "cochlear tuner" by adjusting the response of the cochlea to different frequencies. They amplify low-level sounds and dampen high-level sounds, which helps to sharpen the tuning of the basilar membrane. This means that the OHCs are playing a role in adjusting the frequency response of the cochlea, rather than acting as a rectifier, attenuator, or bandpass filter.
