Difference between Hearing and Organ of Corti

Hearing vs. Organ of Corti

Hearing, or auditory perception, is the ability to perceive sounds by detecting vibrations, changes in the pressure of the surrounding medium through time, through an organ such as the ear. The organ of Corti, or spiral organ, is the receptor organ for hearing and is located in the mammalian cochlea.

Similarities between Hearing and Organ of Corti

Hearing and Organ of Corti have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Auditory cortex, Auricle (anatomy), Basilar membrane, Cochlea, Cochlear nerve, Depolarization, Ear canal, Eardrum, Endolymph, Hair cell, Ossicles, Oval window, Round window, Sensorineural hearing loss, Sound.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Auditory cortex

The primary auditory cortex is the part of the temporal lobe that processes auditory information in humans and other vertebrates.

Auricle (anatomy)

The auricle or auricula is the visible part of the ear that resides outside the head.

Basilar membrane

The basilar membrane within the cochlea of the inner ear is a stiff structural element that separates two liquid-filled tubes that run along the coil of the cochlea, the scala media and the scala tympani (see figure).

Cochlea

The cochlea is the part of the inner ear involved in hearing.

Cochlear nerve

The cochlear nerve (also auditory or acoustic neuron) is one of two parts of the vestibulocochlear nerve, a cranial nerve present in amniotes, the other part being the vestibular nerve.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Ear canal

The ear canal (external acoustic meatus, external auditory meatus, EAM; meatus acusticus externus) is a tube running from the outer ear to the middle ear.

Eardrum

In the anatomy of humans and various other tetrapods, the eardrum, also called the tympanic membrane or myringa, is a thin, cone-shaped membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear.

Endolymph

Endolymph is the fluid contained in the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear.

Hair cell

Hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates.

Ossicles

The ossicles (also called auditory ossicles) are three bones in either middle ear that are among the smallest bones in the human body.

Oval window

The oval window (or fenestra vestibuli) is a membrane-covered opening that leads from the middle ear to the vestibule of the inner ear.

Round window

The round window is one of the two openings from the middle ear into the inner ear.

Sensorineural hearing loss

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing loss, or deafness, in which the root cause lies in the inner ear or sensory organ (cochlea and associated structures) or the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII).

Sound

In physics, sound is a vibration that typically propagates as an audible wave of pressure, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.
