| 41. | It is thought that each ERB is the equivalent of around 0.9mm on the basilar membrane.
|
| 42. | However, both the somatic motor and the hair bundle motor produce significant displacements of the basilar membrane.
|
| 43. | A very strong movement of the basilar membrane due to very loud noise may cause hair cells to die.
|
| 44. | On March 22, 1983, Paul Brophy sustained a basilar artery aneurysm rupture with very destructive neurologic consequences.
|
| 45. | Thus, damage to the OHCs results in the reduction of sensitivity of the basilar membrane to weak sounds.
|
| 46. | At the base of the basilar membrane it is narrow and stiff and is most responsive to high frequencies.
|
| 47. | Occasionally, they extend into the basilar part of the occipital bone nearly as far as the foramen magnum.
|
| 48. | Boettcher cells are polyhedral cells on the basilar membrane of the cochlea, and are located beneath Claudius cells.
|
| 49. | These cells sit directly above a basilar membrane ( BM ) that has high sensitivity for differences in frequency.
|
| 50. | Further along the auditory pathway, the movement of the basilar membrane results in the stimulation of primary auditory neurons.
