The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about the organ of Corti, we will analyze each option provided and determine which statement is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Organ of Corti**: The organ of Corti is a structure located within the cochlea of the inner ear and is responsible for converting sound vibrations into nerve impulses. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Located on the basilar membrane." - This statement is **incorrect**. The organ of Corti is indeed located on the basilar membrane, not the "reasoner membrane" (which seems to be a typographical error). - **Option 2**: "Pressing of stereocilia against tectorial membrane generates nerve impulses." - This statement is **correct**. The stereocilia of the hair cells in the organ of Corti bend against the tectorial membrane, leading to the generation of nerve impulses. - **Option 3**: "Impulses are carried to the brain by the cochlear branch of the auditory nerve." - This statement is **correct**. The auditory nerve (cochlear branch) transmits the nerve impulses generated by the organ of Corti to the brain. - **Option 4**: "It does not have any role in balancing." - This statement is **correct**. The organ of Corti is primarily involved in hearing and does not play a role in balance, which is managed by other structures in the inner ear. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the statement that is incorrect is **Option 1**, as it misstates the location of the organ of Corti. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding the organ of Corti is: **"Located on the reasoner membrane."**
