Which of the following statements does not correctly describe the spiral organ? a. Sounds of high frequency stimulate hair cells at the basal end, b. the 'hairs' of the receptor cells are embedded in the tectorial membrane, c. the basilar membrane acts as a resonator, d. the more numerous outer hair cells are largely responsible for our perception of sound.

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So what is their primary function of this spiral organ in the ear? As answer choice. A, we have to transmit sound waves to the auditory nerve B to amplify sound waves entering the ear, C to converse sound vibrations into electrical signals. D to regulate the pressure of sound waves in the inner ear. Well, now recall from previous videos that this spiral organ also known as the organ of is going to be a complex structure located in the cochlea of the inner ear. Now, within the cochlea, its primary function is going to be converting these mechanical vibration vibrations that enter the inner ear into electrical signals that can be read and interpreted by auditory nerves located in the brain so that we can process what we are hearing. So these mechanical vibrations caused by sound waves get converted into electrical signals that we can understand and read in our brains by this spiral organ in the cochlea of the inner ear. Therefore, the correct answer choice for this question is going to be answer choice C to convert some vibrations into electrical signals. I really hope this helped and I hope to see you on the next video.
