Which of the following defines an unusual increase in the number of the influenza virus cases in a community?

 The tectorial membrane is located below the hair cells in the cochlea.

Depolarization of hair cells leads to the opening of voltage-gated sodium channels.

 The semicircular canals detect linear acceleration.

Hair cells that detect sound vibrations are located within:

Movement of the basilar membrane causes bending of stereocilia on the hair cells.

Movement of the basilar membrane causes bending of stereocilia on the hair cells.

Recurrent otitis media can sometimes lead to conductive hearing loss.

A perforated tympanic membrane always results in total deafness of that ear.
