medium- vibrate basilar membrane near middle
low-vibrates on opposite floppy end

77
Q

Basilar membrane tells what

A

amplitude not location

78
Q

Afferent hair cells

A

inner hair cells, bend at their base, detect sound

79
Q

Efferent hair cells

A

outer cels contract and stretch, change stiffness of basilar membrane
2 functions:
amplifying motion of basilar membrane to increase”fine tuning” of inner ear
decrease motion of basilar membrane, protects hair cells from loud sounds

80
Q

Finding location of sound

A

relative intensity and timing, sound waves rich both ears but are greater on one side

81
Q

Deafness

A

Conductive deafness- blocked sound, external or middle ear ear wax, perforated ear drum, otitis media, ostclerosis (bones can’t move)
Sensorineural deafness- problems with cochlea, typically gradual hair cell loss, fixed with cochlear implants

82
Q

Tinnitus

A

ringing/buzzing in ear, damaged cochlea, hear at damaged frequency, inflammation of middle or internal ears
