Sound Waves

Sound is created when objects vibrate.

This vibration causes molecules in the surrounding medium to vibrate as well.

This, in turn, causes pressure changes in the medium.

Pressure Fluctuations

Pattern stays the same

Pressure decreases

Tip Link Neurochemistry

Tip Link Movement:

•Opens non-selective ion channels

•K+ and Ca++ enter cell causing depolarization

•Causing voltage-gated Ca++ channels to open at cells base

•Ca++ triggers the release of neurotransmitter that stimulates afferent fiber
