The neural signal sent from the auditory nerve to the brain is initiated by neurotransmitter release from the:
A)eardrum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hair cells located in the cochlea are responsible for transducing mechanical vibrations into neural signals. When the hair cells are stimulated, neurotransmitters are released, initiating the neural signal that travels through the auditory nerve to the brain. The eardrum, ossicles, and semicircular canals are not directly involved in this process.
