| 11. | The basilar membrane within the cochlea contains the first of these specializations for echo information processing.
|
| 12. | The fine tuning of the basilar membrane is created by the input of two separate mechanisms.
|
| 13. | When the basilar membrane moves downward, the hair bundles are driven in the inhibitory direction.
|
| 14. | The mechanical force that is generated by these mechanisms increases the movement of the basilar membrane.
|
| 15. | Amplification to these sounds is therefore required, in order for the basilar membrane to respond efficiently.
|
| 16. | Neural signals responding to motions of the basilar membrane show responses in one direction as in rectification.
|
| 17. | The basilar membrane and the hair cells of the cochlea function as a sharply tuned frequency analyzer.
|
| 18. | This then compresses the scala vestibule into the basilar membrane in the direction toward the scala tympani.
|
| 19. | The basilar membrane separates the cochlear duct from the scala tympani, a cavity within the cochlear labyrinth.
|
| 20. | It is thought that each ERB is the equivalent of around 0.9mm on the basilar membrane.
