Cochlea and vestibulococlear nerve. After sound waves enter the ear,vibrating the eardrum and the three ossicles,vibrations pass into the inner ear chamber. Rythmic waves then travel through the snail-shell-shaped cochlea. Inside the cochlea,the waves travel through the perilymph and endolymph,the fluid of the inner ear. Thousands of microscopic hairs in the organ of corti (vibration-sensitive) receive information from these waves and translate them into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain | |
