This fluid wave in the vestibular duct sets up vibrations in the membranes of the cochlear duct. 5. The cochlear duct membrane vibrations initiate a second fluid wave in the tympanic duct. 6. Vibrations in the cochlear duct membrane move the cilia back and forth. 7. This motion sets up nerve impulses that travel to the brain.

Know the phases of a nerve impulse

1. action potential. Nerves are in the resting phase with more sodium outside and more potassium inside. A stimulus then occurs and depolarizes in the rising phase while sodium enters the neuron, then the falling phase begins which is repolarized and potassium leaves the neuron, then we go back to the resting phase.
