Nerve impulses from the inner ear are converted into sensations of meaningless sounds in the:
A) association areas
B) cochlea
C) primary auditory cortex
D) tympanic membrane

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary auditory cortex is responsible for processing nerve impulses from the inner ear and converting them into sensations of meaningful sounds. The association areas are involved in higher-level processing and interpretation of auditory information, while the cochlea is a part of the inner ear that helps to transduce sound waves into nerve impulses. The tympanic membrane is a part of the outer ear that helps to transmit sound waves to the inner ear.
