What do the receptor cells in the lateral line system along the sides of a shark and the cochlea of your ear have in common? a. They use hair cells to sense sound or pressure waves. b. They are organs of equilibrium. c. They use electromagnetic receptors to sense pressure waves in fluid. d. They use granules that signal a change in position and stimulate their receptor cells.

Which of the following features do the cochlea and the semicircular canals not have in common? a. located in the inner ear c. stimulated by waves b. filled with fluid d. receptors are hair cells
In the human ear, how do different hair cells respond to different frequencies of sound? a. Waves of pressure move through the fluid in the cochlea. b. Hair cells are "sandwiched" between membranes. c. Receptors in the stereocilia of each hair cell are different; each receptor protein responds to a certain range of frequencies. d. Because the basilar membrane varies in stiffness, it vibrates in certain places in response to certain frequencies.
