Question

the structure in the cochlea of the inner ear that provides information to the central nervous system (cns) is the _______.
answer

• tectorial membrane
• organ of corti
• scala tympani
• basilar membrane
• i dont know yet

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the functions of cochlear structures. The organ of Corti contains hair cells that transduce sound vibrations into neural signals sent to the CNS. The tectorial membrane is a gel-like structure, scala tympani is a fluid - filled chamber, and the basilar membrane vibrates but doesn't directly send info to CNS. So the correct structure is the organ of Corti.

Answer:

B. organ of Corti
