| 1. | These changes influence the response of the basilar membrane to sound.
|
| 2. | The CM is proportional to the displacement of the basilar membrane.
|
| 3. | For the organ of Corti the basilar membrane is permeable to perilymph.
|
| 4. | The tuning of the basilar membrane is due to its mechanical structure.
|
| 5. | This tone burst would stimulate the corresponding area on the basilar membrane.
|
| 6. | Therefore, when the basilar membrane moves due to vibrations, the stereocilia bend.
|
| 7. | He could measure vibrations along the basilar membrane in response to different excitations frequencies.
|
| 8. | The pattern of voltages along the basilar membrane can be viewed on an oscilloscope.
|
| 9. | Therefore, each position along the basilar membrane is finely tuned to a particular frequency.
|
| 10. | Voltages across capacitances represent basilar membrane displacements.
