The fluid that fills the cochlear duct, where the organ of Corti is located, is called____________. which of the following is a proprioceotor?  Meissner's corpuscule  muscle spindle  Ruffini's corpuscule Merkel disc pain receptor Which of the following helps to explain why stimulation of cones results in more acute vision than stimulation of rods? Cones are more sensitive to color than rods are  Cones require abundant light in order to be stimulated  Rods are very sensitive, and can be stimulated even in very low light, so the signals all bleed together  Cones have an almost 1:1 relationship with their axon pathways back to the cortex  Cones are highly concentrated in the fovea, and rods are not
