Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The methods by which the structures of the mammalian ear allow an organism to hear sounds.
Introduction:
Hair cells are the specialized epithelial cells that are also called mechanoreceptors. These cells have projection deformity, which is known as stereocilia, and the function of stereocilia is to detect movement.
