Hair cell refers to type of sensory receptor shaped like a hair; receptor cells within the cochlea that transduce vibrations into nerve impulses. Hair cells are neuron in the cochlea that contains small hairs, or cilia , that are displaced by vibration of the basilar membrane and fluids inside the inner ear . Auditory receptors are Hair cells. There are two kinds of Hair cells: inner and outer.
