Solution
The correct option is C Cochlea
∙ Inner ear has two main parts: Cochlea and the semicircular canals.
∙ Cochlea is a spiral-shaped structure. It looks like a snail shell. It has three parallel tubes: Scala vestibuli, scala media and scala tympani.
∙ The scala vestibuli and scala tympani are filled with perilymph, while scala media is filled with endolymph.
∙ Cochlea receives the incoming vibrations from the middle ear and converts them into neural impulses and sends them to the brain.
