039 The Function of the Organ of Corti

[sree9555]

do you have any videos about semilunar canal , saccule , utricle etc sir??

[iRockPink23]

Awesome video! Using it to study for my audiology exam

[InteractiveBiology]

@iRockPink23 Thank You! Stay tuned for more... WE have more Biology videos coming very soon!

I Don´t Understand what that video is... It´s funny, but, what it is... a cel??... the tectorial membrane... please, answer my question... Great video ;)

[InteractiveBiology]

@youremocional The organ of corti play a part in the hearing process...

[Djalitana]

that was great. at this stage I know too little to be able to ask questions. just want to say than you.

[InteractiveBiology]

@Djalitana You're very welcome! Stay tuned for more! :)

Do the vibrations go through the scala vestibuli to the cochlear duct which vibrate the tectorial membrane then the organ of corti outer hair cells? i dont understand how the sound goes through the scala tympani then the basilar membrane to the tectorial membrane

[InteractiveBiology]

@tublet13 Great question. Here's the thing. Between the SV and the CD, there is the Reissner's Membrane. That is transparent to sound. So when the sound waves cause vibrations in the SV, that travels into the CD. This causes the Basilar Membrane to vibrate. When that vibrates, you get the tectorial membrane moving in a windshield wiper-like fashion, because it's attached on one end to the Organ of Corti. Hope that helps.

hi, why u only deal with physiology why not start with anatomy in detail?

i will b grateful to u if u deal with anatomy as well

[InteractiveBiology]

@pari020 I will eventually get into anatomy also. Just taking it one step at a time.

[pari020]

@InteractiveBiology am an P.G anatomy student, eagerly waiting for ur anatomy classes sir.

i dont have words to express the way you teach...its superb!!

thanx alot :-)

[InteractiveBiology]

@pari020 Thanks for the compliment. Glad you are finding value in the videos. All the best!

[pari020]

i signed in to study larynx fortunately i clicked on ur video 37 which drag me to watch all ur awesome videos

[InteractiveBiology]

@pari020 Glad you are enjoying the videos so much.

[MollyNYC]

This series gives good, clear explanations of various physiologic processes. They are entirely valuable on that account.

But if the producers think they're also "fun," they really need to get out more.

[InteractiveBiology]

@MollyNYC LOL. Umm . . . Thanks (I think). Hey, fun for you isn't fun for someone else :)

All the best!

I was geting small amount of liquid coming out of my ear, it wasnt wax.  Is this the fuid from the cochlea? please help. im scared now.

[InteractiveBiology]

@hupper12345 Nahh, it probably isn't the cochlea. Probably just an infection or a cold or something like that (although I'm no doctor)

[angeloscogno]

Thanks for the video.. I'm a student into sound engineering and you helped me a lot, but please, please... don't pronounce Corti with the english "I".. it's italian and it should be pronounced more like "Cortee". Thank you though!

[InteractiveBiology]

@angeloscogno LOL. Glad you found value in the video, despite my difference in pronunciation. I'm an island boy and will pronounce some things differently. Hope you still value in the work I'm putting up here :D

[bballeris]

Lets go to Episode 38 :). Great videos not only for school students but also for medical care professionals. Thank you.

[InteractiveBiology]

@bballeris :) Check out ALL the episodes, lol. Glad you are finding value in the videos. All the best!

[mightbleed]

Cortay. Great video! I learned a lot. :)

[InteractiveBiology]

@mightbleed That's great to hear. Glad you learned a lot. Stay tuned for many more :)
