What does the eardrum do?

The function of the eardrum is to transmit sound and amplify vibration.


When sound is heard what structure would be the first to transmit the sound wave?

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.


The malleus incus and stapers conduct vibrations from the eardrum to what?

The three auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window, and thus into the fluid environment of the inner ear.


What is the function of the eardrum inner ear and outer ear?

to transmit sound entering the outer ear to the bones of the middle ear


What are the small bones that transmit sound waves from the eardrum to the inner ear?

the bones pick up the movement/vibration of the eardrum which is caused by movement of air. between the movement of these three bones the sound vibration is amplified in intensity. the bones then move via the stapes in the oval window, causing movement of the fluid in the cochlea which then transmits this to the auditory nerve to the brain. so the bones help in the transformation of airborne vibration/movment into a mechanical signal and ultimately an electrical signal to transmit to the brain


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.


Does white plastic absorb or transmit solar radiation?

White anything will REFLECT radiation, it will not transmit or absorb.


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.

How is sound transmitted to the eardrum?

Sound is transmitted through the air to the eardrum as variations in pressure above and below ambient atmospheric pressure.
