basilar membrane

Examples

• All

• While the resulting effect of these two peaks is a wider area of damage along the basilar membrane, there is a reduced overall degree of missing outer hair cells.

• Both outer and inner hair cells are thought to be stimulated by movement of the basilar membrane in response to sound.

• These cells are sitting on the basilar membrane and the hair bundle is moving back and forth.

• This is the length along the basilar membrane from the base over here on the right to the apex.

• The unconditioned group showed a discrete loss of the outer hair cells in a particular area on the basilar membrane, usually around the 14 to 15 mm distance from the round window.

• Above 80 dB SPL, the relationship between basilar membrane vibration and sound intensity again becomes linear.

  Academic text (1998)

• If the oscillatory motion of the outer hair cell is in phase with the acoustic vibration, there will be positive feedback to basilar membrane motion and amplification.

  Academic text (1998)

• Differences between the responses of the basilar membrane (BM), tectorial membrane (TM), and outer hair cell (OHC).

  Academic text (1998)

• For the purpose of illustration, assume that the basilar membrane, tectorial membrane, and OHCs are each elastic in the tuned region of the cochlear partition.

  Academic text (1998)

• As a result, the electromechanical force attenuates the motion of the basilar membrane. Clearly, this mechanism cannot produce cochlear tuning; the OHC acts as a brake.
