(53)Properties of Sound
Properties of Sound
Sound - a pressure disturbance (alternating areas of high and low pressure or rarefaction and
compression) originating from a vibrating object Represented by a sine wave having wavelength, frequency, and amplitude
Frequency – the number of waves that pass a given point in a given time (cycles/sec = Hz)
Pitch – perception of different frequencies (we hear from 20–20,000 Hz
(54)Properties of Sound
Properties of Sound
Sound intensity is
measured in logarithmic units called decibels (dB – 0dB→130dB)
I(W/m2)=P/A – ß=lgI/I
0
Frequency = pitch
(55)Neuronal Response to Sound
• Frequency → Where? The location
where in the Cochlea the stereocilia are stimulated.
• Intensity → How many? The number of
HC that are stimulated by the sound determines the perceived loudness.

(67)(68)Mechanisms of Equilibrium and Orientation
Mechanisms of Equilibrium and Orientation
Vestibular apparatus – inner ear equilibrium
receptors in the semicircular canals and vestibule (maintains orientation and balance)
Two functional groups of receptors:
Vestibular receptors (maculae) monitor static equilibrium
Semicircular canal receptors (cristae)
(69)Maculae - Static Equilibrium
Maculae - Static Equilibrium
Each macula is a flat section of epithelial tissue containing supporting cells and hair cells
Each hair cell has stereocilia (microvilli) and a kinocilium embedded in the otolithic membrane Otolithic membrane is a jellylike mass containing tiny CaCO3 stones (crystals) called otoliths
Utricular hairs respond to horizontal movement
(70)Anatomy of Maculae
Anatomy of Maculae
Otolithic movement in one direction depolarizes
vestibular nerve fibers and increases the number of
action potentials generated Movement in the opposite direction hyperpolarizes vestibular nerve fibers and reduces the rate of impulse propagation
(71)Crista Ampullaris - Dynamic Equilibrium
Crista Ampullaris - Dynamic Equilibrium
The crista ampullaris (or crista) is located in the ampulla
of each semicircular canal and responds to angular
movements Each crista has support cells and hair cells
that extend into a gel-like mass called the cupula
Dendrites of vestibular nerve fibers encircle the base of
(72)Crista Ampullaris
Crista Ampullaris
Cristae respond to changes in velocity of rotatory movements of the head Directional bending of hair cells in the cristae causes either depolarizations (rapid impulses) or hyperpolarizations (fewer impulses)
Impulses in the vestibular nerve component of cranial
nerve VIII travel to the vestibular nuclear complex
