Definition of koklea in Turkish English dictionary
- cochlea
- A coiled, fluid-filled chamber in the inner ear, containing the basilar membrane, where mechanical (sound) energy is converted into neural energy Resolution of a complex sound into its components occurs in the cochlea
- snail-shaped structure in the inner ear that contains the organ of hearing
- The winding tubular cavity within the inner ear, shaped like a snail-shell; contains the organ of Corti, the end-organ of hearing, which finally changes the pressure waves of sound into nerve impulses The central bony support of the cochlea is called the modiolus A thin bony plate, called the spiral lamina, extends from the modiolus and partially divides the cochlea The division is completed by the basilar membrane, which is the fibrous support for the organ of Corti One passageway above the divider begins at the oval window, or scala vestibuli Another begins at the round window, or scala tympani They are joined at the apex, or helicotrema Between the two is the scala media, or cochlear duct, which contains the organ of Corti When extended the cochlea is about one and a third inches (35 mm) long It has two and three quarter turns and is about 5 mm high and 9 mm in diameter adj: cochlear See also: ORGAN OF CORTI
- A snail shaped mechanism in the inner ear that contain hair cells of basilar membrane that vibrate to aid in frequency recognition
- A snail-shaped structure in the inner ear, which is the essential organ of hearing This tube is filled with tiny hair cells, which help transmit sound into the brain
- A curved structure of the inner ear that is filled with fluid (p 121)
- {i} coiled structure in the inner ear
- the main organ of the inner ear, responsible for the initial analysis of sound waveforms
- shaped like a snail's shell, this organ of the inner ear contains the organ of Corti, from which the eighth nerve fibers send electric impluses, hearing signals, to the brain
- The main receptor organ for hearing located in the inner ear
- Part of the inner ear that contains the sensory hair cells of the sense of hearing
- An organ in the inner ear that transforms sound vibrations in the inner ear into nerve impulses for transmission to the brain
- fluid-filled coil that contains the hair cells
- The snail-like bony cavity that contains the delicate hair cells located in the inner ear It is about the size of a dried pea
- The spiral-shaped bony canal in the inner ear containing the hair cells that transduce sound
- A coiled tube in the ear filled with fluid that vibrates in response to soundcochlea (136 0K)
- A component of the inner ear with a snail shell-like structure It serves as the body's microphone, converting sound pressure from the outer ear to electrical impulses which are sent to the brain
- The hearing organ Located in the inner ear it is snail like in shape
- The cochlea is the spiral-shaped part of the inner ear. cochleas cochleae a part of the inner ear
- A snail shaped organ located in the inner ear It is lined with a membrane containing thousands of feathery hair cells tuned to vibrate to different sound frequencies
