Is the Basilar Membrane Lined with?

The surface of the basilar membrane is lined with: hair cells.

What contains basilar membrane?

the basilar membrane is found in the cochlea; it forms the base of the organ of Corti, which contains sensory receptors for hearing. Movement of the basilar membrane in response to sound waves causes the depolarization of hair cells in the organ of Corti.

How is the basilar membrane organized?

When a sound wave is transmitted to the fluid of the inner ear, the basilar membrane is set in motion. ... As the frequency of the sound is lowered, the place of maximal amplitude of vibration shifts toward the cochlear apex. Because of this resonance gradient, the basilar membrane is said to be “tonotopically” organized.
