Which of the following are the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?

A) hair cells
B) organs of Corti
C) basilar membranes
D) tectorial membranes

Auditory Receptors

Auditory receptors are specialized cells located in the inner ear that convert sound waves into electrical signals, which are then interpreted by the brain as sound.

Neural Impulses

Electrical signals that travel along neurons, enabling communication between different parts of the nervous system.

Hair Cells

Sensory cells located in the inner ear that are responsible for converting sound vibrations into neural signals.
