Where is the organ of Corti located?

  1. In the inner ear

  2. On the eardrum

  3. In the middle ear

  4. In the cochlear nerve

The correct answer is: In the inner ear

The inner ear is home to the organ of Corti, which is responsible for the conversion of sound waves into electrical signals. While other ear structures, such as the eardrum and cochlear nerve, play important roles in the hearing process, they are not the specific location of the organ of Corti. The middle ear contains the three small bones that transmit sound from the eardrum to the inner ear, but it does not house the organ of Corti itself. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect in this context.
