Sensory Systems - Auditory System

Happy Tuesday!

The auditory system is a complex and efficient biological network responsible for detecting sound waves. This system's main sensory organs are the ears, with the primary receptors for sound detection being the hair cells located in the cochlea of the inner ear. By transforming mechanical vibrations from sound waves into electrical signals, the auditory system allows us to interpret a vast range of auditory stimuli, from the softest whisper to the loudest explosion. Let's explore the anatomy and function of the auditory system in greater detail.
