| 31. | The base of the basilar membrane is narrow and stiff, resulting in it responding best to high frequency sounds.
|
| 32. | The endolymphatic duct is wrapped in a simple loop around the lagena, with the basilar membrane lying along one side.
|
| 33. | When a complex sound is heard, it causes different parts in the basilar membrane to become simultaneously stimulated and flex.
|
| 34. | The cochlear duct is bounded on three sides by the basilar membrane, the stria vascularis, and Reissner's membrane.
|
| 35. | The human ear is able to detect differences in pitch through the movement of auditory hair cells found on the basilar membrane.
|
| 36. | For frequencies that are lower than 200 Hz, the tip of the basilar membrane vibrates in sync with the sound waves.
|
| 37. | This is because the frequency selectivity and the tuning of the basilar membrane is reduced as the outer hair cells are damaged.
|
| 38. | There are 4x more OHC than IHC . The basilar membrane is a wall where the majority of the IHC and OHC sit.
|
| 39. | The region of the basilar membrane supplying the inputs to a particular afferent nerve fibre can be considered to be its receptive field.
|
| 40. | Unlike the ordinary acoustic fibers which terminate on the neural limbus, the infrasonic ones terminate on cells on the free basilar membrane.
