Sound Waves Sound is created when objects vibrate. This vibration causes molecules in the surrounding medium to vibrate as well. This, in turn, causes.

Presentation transcript:

Sound Waves Sound is created when objects vibrate. This vibration causes molecules in the surrounding medium to vibrate as well. This, in turn, causes pressure changes in the medium. Pressure Fluctuations Pattern stays the same Pressure decreases

Most Sound is a Mix of Waves Time (msec)

Stereocilia Electronmicrograph of stereocilia tip links (Hudspeth, 1992)

Tip Link Neurochemistry Tip Link Movement: Opens non-selective ion channels K + and Ca ++ enter cell causing depolarization Causing voltage-gated Ca ++ channels to open at cells base Ca ++ triggers the release of neurotransmitter that stimulates afferent fiber

Cochlea Specific movement of the basilar membrane stimulates specific cells
