Solution
The correct option is C Vestibular apparatus
The vestibular is the organ of equilibrium. The vestibular’s function is to register the body's movements, thus ensuring that we can keep our balance.
Cochlea is a part of the inner ear in which sound waves are transformed into electrical impulses which are sent on to the brain.
The organ of Corti is the sensitive element in the inner ear and can be thought of as the body's microphone. It is situated on the basilar membrane in one of the three compartments of the Cochlea. It contains four rows of hair cells which protrude from its surface.
The tectorial membrane (TM) is one of two acellular membranes in the cochlea of the inner ear, the other being the basilar membrane (BM). The TM is located above the spiral limbus and the spiral organ of Corti and extends along the longitudinal length of the cochlea parallel to the BM.
