Question

Vibrations in the fluid of the cochlea causes ____.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vibrations in the fluid of the cochlea cause displacement of the hair cells, which then transmit the auditory signal to the brain. Movement of the pinna and vibrations of the eardrum are part of the initial process in sound transmission, but they do not directly cause vibrations in the fluid of the cochlea. Vestibular input is related to balance and spatial orientation, not sound perception.
