What statement best describes the cochlea? It contains sensory receptors that carry both sensory and motor information to and from the ear. It is an organ responsible for our sense of balance. It is an organ within the inner ear that houses the vestibule and the semicircular canals. It is a long tube curled like a snail within the inner ear. It is in the middle ear to amplify the vibrations received by the tympanic membrane. What statement best describes the cochlea?
