Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hair cells within the cochlea are responsible for detecting sound vibrations and converting them into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain for processing. Ossicles are a part of the middle ear and help to amplify sound waves, pinnas are the external part of the ear that helps to funnel sound waves into the ear canal, and umami cells are taste receptors on the tongue that detect savory flavors.
