b)
The fibers of the cochlear nerve are attached to hair cells in the semicircular canals to carry information about movements of the head.
c)
The frequency of sound waves as defined by their wavelengths are perceived as pitch and are measured in decibels (dB).
d)
The saccule and utricle are critical sensory receptors for interpreting language, distinct from other sounds.
