Transduction of sound waves into neural signals occurs at which structure?
- Acheck_circle
The cochlea (hair cells on the basilar membrane)
- B
The pinna
- C
The ossicles
- D
The auditory canal
Explanation
Sound is funneled and amplified through the outer/middle ear, but transduction—conversion of mechanical motion to neural impulses—happens when hair cells on the basilar membrane of the cochlea bend.
