Talk:Vestibular membrane

Vibrations
Doesn't the vestibular membrane vibrate in response to sound waves traveling up the scala vestibuli? That's the way I understand it. The primary function of the vestibular membrane isn't only to provide a fluid barrier separating the scala vestibuli from the cochlear duct. Sound waves from the vestibular membrane travel through the cochlear duct and set the basilar membrane in motion. Am I wrong about that? By what other means, or route, could the basilar membrane be affected by sound vibrations? Beneath the basilar membrane is the scala tympani (the descending canal). Surely the basilar membrane doesn't receive sound vibrations from the scala tympani. … James — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:B011:300:B09F:3FEF:E7EB:2AC5 (talk) 18:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
