Additional formats:
None available
Description:
Frequency Coding in the Cochlea. The standing sound wave generated in the cochlea by the movement of the oval window deflects the basilar membrane on the basis of the frequency of sound. Therefore, hair cells at the base of the cochlea are activated only by high frequencies, whereas those at the apex of the cochlea are activated only by low frequencies. English labels. From OpenStax book 'Anatomy and Physiology', fig. 14.10.
