Auditory transduction involves a change in membrane potential for which membrane?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auditory transduction involves a change in membrane potential in the hair cell membrane, which is located in the cochlea of the inner ear. When sound waves cause vibrations in the fluid of the cochlea, the hair cells on the basilar membrane are stimulated, leading to changes in membrane potential that allow for the transmission of auditory signals to the brain. The tectorial membrane, tympanic membrane, and round-window membrane are involved in the transmission of sound waves to the cochlea but are not directly involved in auditory transduction.
