Sensory Reception The human ear Inner ear includes the semicircular canal, which is involved in equilibrium and the cochlea, which is involved in hearing. Biology 403 – Physiology of Sensations (Dr. Beye) St. Francis Xavier University
Sensory Reception The sense of equilibrium Cilia of receptor hairs bend and initiates a generator potential St. Francis Xavier University
Sensory Reception 1. Sound waves enter the mouth The fish inner ear 2. Transmitted to gas in the swim bladder 3. Vibrates at corresponding amplitudes and frequencies as the incoming sound 4. Weberian ossicles vibrate 5. Vibrations move forward to inner ear 6. Response initiated – example fast start St. Francis Xavier University
