Question
what structures in the ear line the basilar membrane and transmit neural messages to the brain?
o hair cells
o hammer, anvil, and stirrup
o pinna
o vibratory cells
Brief Explanations
Hair cells line the basilar membrane in the cochlea of the ear. They convert sound - wave vibrations into neural signals that are sent to the brain. The hammer, anvil, and stirrup are middle - ear bones for transmitting sound, the pinna is the outer - ear structure for collecting sound, and vibratory cells are not the correct term for the cells lining the basilar membrane.
