Card 6 / 20: Watch this animation ( http://openstaxcollege.org/l/ear2 ) to learn more about the inner ear and to see the cochlea unroll, with the base at the back of the image and the apex at the front. Specific wavelengths of sound cause specific regions of the basilar membrane to vibrate, much like the keys of a piano produce sound at different frequencies. Based on the animation, where do frequencies-from high to low pitches-cause activity in the hair cells within the cochlear duct?
