Question

How does cochlea help us?

Open in App
Solution

The cochlea is a portion of the inner ear that looks like a snail shell. The cochlea receives sound in the form of vibrations, which cause the stereocilia to move. The stereocilia then convert these vibrations into nerve impulses which are taken up to the brain to be interpreted.
