Question

Where are the receptors for hearing and equilibrium located?

Answer 1

Hint: We need to know about the anatomy of the year to study the receptors for hearing and equilibrium. The ear is both a hearing and a balance organ. The mammalian is divided into three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.

Complete answer:
Hearing is the process of converting sound waves into a neural signal that relies on the ear's structures. The external ear, middle ear, and internal ear are the three major sections of the ear. The outer ear (external ear), also known as the auricle, is the outwardly apparent component that is typically referred to as the ear. The auricle's C-shaped curves propagate sound waves through the canal in the ear, which enters the skull through the temporal bone's external auditory meatus. The tympanic membrane, or ear drum, is located at the end of the auditory canal (and is sometimes created by an external acoustic meatus). It vibrates with the flow of air in sound waves.
The temporal bone completely encloses the inner ear. It is divided into three sections: the cochlea, which controls hearing, and the vestibule and semicircular canals, which control balance and equilibrium. The oval window, a membranous region at the entrance of the snail-shaped cochlea, is where the middle and inner ear meet. The oval window allows vibrations transmitted through the ossicles to enter the cochlea. The brain receives information from a variety of sensory receptors in order to maintain equilibrium.

Hence, the receptors for hearing are located in the cochlea and that for equilibrium are located in the semicircular canals.

Note:
Note that the spiral organ of Corti is a hearing organ that comprises sensory receptors and is situated throughout the cochlear duct. A lower basilar membrane against the Scala tympani and an upper tectorial membrane within the cochlear duct make up the Corti organ. There are two types of equilibrium: static (gravitational) equilibrium, which involves the head moving in relation to gravity, and dynamic (rotational) equilibrium, which involves the head moving in rotation, horizontally, and vertically.
