The Sound Receptors are Located Within the _______

Question

The sound receptors are located within the _______.
A) cochlea
B) vestibule
C) ossicles
D) tympanic membrane

Accepted Answer

The cochlea is a part of the inner ear and contains the sensory receptors for hearing. It converts sound vibrations into neural signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation. The vestibule and ossicles are also part of the inner ear, but they do not contain the sound receptors themselves. The tympanic membrane (eardrum) is located in the outer ear and helps to transmit sound vibrations to the middle ear.
