hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates. through mechanotransduction, hair cells detect movement in their environment. in mammals, the auditory hair cells are located within the spiral organ of corti on the thin basilar membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear. they derive their name from the tufts of stereocilia called "hair bundles" that protrude from the apical surface of the cell into the fluid-filled cochlear duct. mammalian cochlear hair cells are of two anatomically and functionally distinct types, known as outer, and inner hair cells. damage to these hair cells results in decreased hearing sensitivity, and because the inner ear hair cells cannot regenerate, this damage is permanent. however, other organisms, such as the frequently studied zebrafish, and birds have hair cells that can regenerate.

bullet::::- sound – when the adequate stimulus of a sensory receptor is sound, the sensory receptors are hair cells (mechanoreceptors). these hair cells contain stereocilia, which when bent, trigger the opening of ion channels. thus hair cells transform the pressure waves of the sound into receptor potentials to initiate sensory transduction.

sensory receptors are the ends of nerves within the body that respond to stimuli. there are many different types of sensory receptors that each respond to stimuli that they are uniquely fitted to res types of sensory receptors include the following:
