Each ______ movement of the basilar causes the stereocilia of the inner hair cells to bend, opening gates that allow Downward, K+ to rush in Upward, K+ to rush in Downward, K+ to rush out Upward, K+ to rush out

Step 1
Step 1: When the basilar membrane moves upward, the stereocilia bend in the opposite direction, opening potassium channels. Show more…

When waves push the basilar membrane up and down; the stereocilia move back and forth; opening up ion channels, allowing this ion to move into the hair cells and depolarizing the membrane. CL- K+ Nat Ht Cat

Hair cells have stereocilia with mechanically-gated (mg) ion channels. The process of bending opens ion channels. What happens when NTs bind to the afferent neuron? Starting at step #3, this works just like a neuron.
Describe positions of basilar and tectorial membranes as well as hair bundles with respect to: a. depolarization of hair cells b. hyper polarization of hair cells c. hair cells at rest
