Oreille interneL'oreille interne est, chez les Vertébrés, une partie du système auditif qui contient l'organe de l'ouïe, mais aussi le système vestibulaire, organe de l’équilibre, responsable de la perception de la position angulaire de la tête et de son accélération. Se présentant sous forme d’escargot, la cochlée transforme les sons en signaux électriques qui sont transmis ensuite au cerveau. L'oreille interne est remplie d’un liquide, appelé endolymphe, et est composée de cellules ciliées.
CochleaThe cochlea is the part of the inner ear involved in hearing. It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth, in humans making 2.75 turns around its axis, the modiolus. A core component of the cochlea is the Organ of Corti, the sensory organ of hearing, which is distributed along the partition separating the fluid chambers in the coiled tapered tube of the cochlea. The name cochlea derives . The cochlea (: cochleae) is a spiraled, hollow, conical chamber of bone, in which waves propagate from the base (near the middle ear and the oval window) to the apex (the top or center of the spiral).
OreilleL’oreille est l'organe qui sert à capter et intensifier le son. Elle est le siège du sens de l'ouïe. L'oreille interne joue également un rôle important dans l'équilibre du corps immobile ou en mouvement. Dans le langage courant, ce mot fait le plus souvent référence à la partie extérieure bien visible, c'est-à-dire le pavillon de l'oreille. Mais le mot s'applique aussi au système entier, l’appareil auditif, aussi bien externe qu'interne, qui effectue la collection et la compréhension des sons.
Broadcast engineeringBroadcast engineering is the field of electrical engineering, and now to some extent computer engineering and information technology, which deals with radio and television broadcasting. Audio engineering and RF engineering are also essential parts of broadcast engineering, being their own subsets of electrical engineering. Broadcast engineering involves both the studio and transmitter aspects (the entire airchain), as well as remote broadcasts. Every station has a broadcast engineer, though one may now serve an entire station group in a city.
Basilar membraneThe basilar membrane is a stiff structural element within the cochlea of the inner ear which separates two liquid-filled tubes that run along the coil of the cochlea, the scala media and the scala tympani. The basilar membrane moves up and down in response to incoming sound waves, which are converted to traveling waves on the basilar membrane. The basilar membrane is a pseudo-resonant structure that, like the strings on an instrument, varies in width and stiffness.
