- basilar membrane in the tympanic
- Reissners membrane in the vestibular canal?
- Basilar membrane in the median canal
- Reissners membrane in the tympanic canal
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The organ of Corti is a receptor organ for hearing. It is part of internal ear, which consists of otolith organ; semicircular canals and cochlear duct. The wall of cochlear duct is fused with cochlear bone on the side to form $3$ chambers; scalae vestibule scalae media and scalae tympani. The floor of llnd scalae media is called basilar membrane, whereas it ceiling (roof) is Reasners membrane. The organ of Corti is situated on the basilar membrane in the median canal.

Sense Organs
The nervous system must receive, accept, and processes information about the world outside in order to react, communicate, and keep the body safe and healthy. Much of this information comes by way of the sensory organs: the eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and skin. Specialized cells and tissues within these organs obtain raw stimuli and translate them into signals the nervous system can use. Nerves communicate the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sight (vision), sound (hearing), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), and touch (tactile perception).
- In order to process, the eyes translate light into image signals for the brain.
- The ear uses bones and fluid to convert sound waves into sound signals.
- Exclusive receptors in the skin send touch signals to the brain.
- Chemicals present in the air stimulate signals the brain interprets as smells.
- The tongue is the chief organ of gustation.
