In which organ are receptors for detecting sound found?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ear
Sound is a mechanical stimulus produced by vibrations. Receptors in the inner ear, especially the sensory hair cells of the cochlea, convert these vibrations into nerve signals that the brain interprets as sound. Thus, option A, the ear, is correct. The eye contains photoreceptors for light, the nose has receptors for smell, and the tongue has taste receptors, so options B, C, and D detect different stimuli.
