6 The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to?
The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to vibrate sound waves into the year. It transmits sound from the environment into the ossicles found in the middle ear.
Structure composing external ear?
Ear pinna, auditory canal and the eardrum.
Which part of the ear sends a message to the brain that is recognized as sound?
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.
What happens after the eardrum and small bones in your ear vibrate?
Once the last bone (the stapes) vibrates, it hammers up and down at a space called the oval window in the cochlea of the inner ear. The cochlea is filled with a fluid, and the vibrations of the stapes send pressure waves through the fluid. There is a membrane in the cochlea that is bent back and forth in different places based on the intensity of the sound, and the bending of the membrane causes small hair-like stereocillia to bend and send an electrical impulse to the brain to be interpreted as sound.
How does sound enter your ears?
it goes through a very longg toobe and it is swirly and golden like a trumpet and the it goes through and then out the other ear cuz like people say what u say u hear isn't what u really hear.... this answer was made by.... E.B... a key to that is im not very smart............. lol got ya hope this wasnt for an assignment hahahahaaaaahhhhhh
What is inside an ear?
cochlea. eardrum. hammer. EAR WAX.
What part of the ear transmits the vibrations to the cochlea?
The eardrum
Does the cochlea keep both sides of the eardrum equal?
No. The cochlea transmit sound from the eardrum. The Eustachian tubes keep the pressure inside the ear equalized with the external pressure.
When you hear sound which vibrates first. Your eardrum or the fluid in the cochlea?
Sound begins at the eardrum and ends at the brain.
Which pathway sounds take when entering the ear?
pinna-eardrum-ossicle-ovalwindow-cochlea..
How sound gets to the eardrum?
Sounds entering the ear canal through the air as sound pressure variations come to the eardrum and are send to the cochlea of the inner ear.
Does a burst ear drum hurt?
A burst eardrum is when the thin flap of skin in your ear leading towards your cochlea vibrates too much and tears, this causes the liquid from your cochlea to flow out of your ear, this can be very painful and lead to not being able to work out which way up you are as the liquid inside your cochlea tells you what way up you are by settling. E.Hannon
Is the cochlea and the eardrum the same thing?
No. The eardrum (also known as the timpanic membrane) is a membrane that helps amplify sounds. The cochlea is deeper inside the ear, behind the eardrum. It is like a tube with little tiny hairs that vibrate at different sound frequencies which transmit information to the brain to help us percieve sound at different tones and pitches.
What job does the eardrum?
The eardrum sends sounds entering the ear canal through the air as sound pressure variations to the cochlea of the inner ear. By Lilly Rogers xxx
Which of the three ossicles strike the cochlea?
The auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe stapes/stirrup are the nearest ossicle to the cochlea of the inner ear.
What does the eardrum do?
The function of the eardrum is to transmit sound and amplify vibration.
What vibrates in your ear before you hear sound?
Sound waves vibrate against your eardrum, hammer, anvil, stirrup, and cochlea.
