required?
1. Eustachian tube
2. Organ of Corti
3. Vestibular apparatus
4. Ear ossicles
Inner ear is
(1) Air filled inner segment
(2) Made up of two parts: Bony and Membranous
(3) Membranous labyrinth encloses bony labyrinth
(4) Membranous labyrinth is surrounded by endolymph
Semi circular canal of internal ear:
(1) Three in number
(2) Lie in different planes
(3) Perpendicular to each other
(4) All of these
Membranous canals suspended in the perilymph of the bony canals. Which of these canals we are talking about?
(1) Semicircular canals
(2) Tectorial canals

The transduction of sound waves to action potentials takes place:
1. Within the tectorial membrane as it is stimulated by the hair cells.
2. When hair cells are bent against the tectorial membrane causing them to depolarize and release neurotransmitter molecule that stimulates sensory neurons.
3. As the basilar membrane becomes more permeable to sodium ions and depolarizes, initiating an action potential in sensory neurons.
4. Within the middle ear as the vibration is amplified by the malleus, incus, and stapes.
How many of these contain sensory hair cells?
Eustechian tube, utricle, saccule, Semicircular
canals, scale media, scala vestibuli
1. 1
2. 3
3. 4
4. 2
