Vibration of the basilar membrane causes hair cells to bend, opening or closing mechanical ion channels, thereby generating action potentials in the auditory nerve.
Η δόνηση της βασικής μεμβράνης προκαλεί καμπύλωση των τριχοκυττάρων, ανοίγοντας ή κλείνοντας τους μηχανικούς δίαυλους ιόντων, γεννώντας έτσι δυναμικά ενέργειας στο ακουστικό νεύρο.
