The oval window is connected directly to which passageway?
cochlea *scala vestibuli* and the round window is directly connected to the scala tympani (where sound dissipates)"The scala vestibuli is continuous with the vestibule near the base of the cochlea, where it abuts the oval window."From: Human Anatomy, 5th Edition Marieb, Mallatt, and Wilhelm
What is carry vibrations from eardrum to perilymph?
Vibration of the tympanic membrane causes movement of the ear ossicles, resulting in the in-and-out vibration of the stapes in the oval window. That touches the perilymph in the scala vestibuli.
Which sequence correctly arranges inner ear structures from the largest and most inclusive to the smallest and most specific?
Sound waves→ auricle→ external auditory canal→ tympanic membrane→ malleus→ incus→ stapes→ oval window→ perilymph of the scala vestibuli→ vestibular membrane→ endolymph in the cochlear duct→ basilar membrane →hair cells against tectorial membrane → bending of hair cell stereocilia→ receptor potential→ nerve impulse. Sound wave → scala tympani→ round window.

What happen the path of sound from the outer ear to interpretation by the brain detailing what happens at each step in the pathway?
the mechanisms of sound transduction are briefly summarized below:Sound waves enter the external ear and are funneled toward the tympanic membrane by the shape of the outer ear.Variation in air pressure due to sound waves causes the tympanic membrane to vibrate. The wave frequency will determine the vibration rate.Tympanic vibrations cause the malleus to move. Because the three ossicles are connected, this vibration is transduced to the stapes via the incus.Movement of the stapes vibrates the oval window. Significant amplification of sound waves occurs due to the small size of the window.Pressure changes transduced through the oval window vibrate the perilymph in the scala vestibuli which are transmitted across the vestibular membrane to the endolymph of the cochlear duct, and also up the scala vestibuli and down the scala tympani much the way waves move through the ocean.Perilymph vibrations move the basilar membrane. The frequency of the basilar vibrations determine the pitch interpreted by the auditory area of the brain.Hair cells lying along the basilar membrane are moved as the membrane vibrates. The cilia of the hair cells are in contact with the tectorial membrane. As the hair cells move, stereocilia bend opening ion channels and developing a generator potential. If threshold is reached, a neurotransmitter is released, exciting an afferent neuron.Action potentials are transmitted along the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve, activating auditory pathways in the central nervous system, eventually terminating in the auditory area of the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex.

In the human body field what is the fluid perilymph?
Perilymph is a fluid present in the scala vestibuli and scala tympani which are the perilymph compartments of the inner ear. It has the same ionic concentration as the extracellular fluid present in the entire body
What is periymph?
Perilymph is an extracellular fluid located within the cochlea (part of the ear) in 2 of its 3 compartments; the scala tympani and scala vestibuli. The ionic composition of perilymph is comparable to that of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. The major cation of perilymph is sodium.
What is carry vibrations from eardrum to perilymph?
Vibration of the tympanic membrane causes movement of the ear ossicles, resulting in the in-and-out vibration of the stapes in the oval window. That touches the perilymph in the scala vestibuli.
What is the pathway through which vibrations and fluid currents are transmitted to finally stimulate the hair cells?
Eardrum - Malleus - Incus - Stapes - Oval Window - Perilymph (in scala vestibuli) - Vestibular membrane - Endolymph (cochlear duct) - Hair cells (Organ of corti)
Perilymph is found in the?
sala vestibuli
What inner ear structure picks up vibrations of fluid in the cochlea and transmits them as sensory impluse to the brain?
Scala tympani is one of the perilymph-filled cavities in the cochlear labyrinth of the human ear. It is separated from the scala media by the basilar membrane, and it extends from the round window to the helicotrema, where it continues as scala vestibuli.The purpose of the perilymph-filled scala tympani and scala vestibuli is to transduce the movement of air that causes the tympanic membrane and the ossicles to vibrate, to movement of liquid and the basilar membrane. This movement is conveyed to the organ of Cortiinside the scala media, composed of hair cells attached to the basilar membrane and their stereo cilia embedded in the tectorial membrane. The movement of the basilar membrane compared to the tectorial membrane causes the sterocilia to bend. They then depolarise and send impulses to the brain via the cochlear nerve. This produces the sensation of sound.
