What else can I help you with?
What part of the ear where vibrations make nerves send messages to the brain?
Eardrum
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.
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 does the eardrum protect?
the eardrum protect the middle and inner ear.
How does the ear canal transmit sound to the eardrum?
The ear canal collects sound waves and funnels them towards the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves. These vibrations are then transmitted to the tiny bones in the middle ear, which amplify the sound and send it to the inner ear for processing.
What is tympanum?
The main cavity of the ear; between the eardrum and the inner ear
Is there hair on the eardrum itself?
No, there is no hair on the eardrum. The eardrum is a thin membrane located in the middle ear that vibrates in response to sound waves, transmitting them to the inner ear. Hair cells in the inner ear, not the eardrum, convert these vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.
What is the bone in the eardrum?
There are no bones within the eardrum. The three bones in the inner ear are the malleus, the incus and the stapes.
How does sound travel directly to the eardrum through the ear canal?
Sound waves travel through the ear canal and reach the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves. The vibrations are then transmitted to the tiny bones in the middle ear, which amplify the sound and send it to the inner ear where it is converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
Is the eardrum part of the inner ear?
No, the eardrum is not part of the inner ear. It is located in the middle ear and acts as a barrier between the outer and middle ear. The inner ear consists of structures like the cochlea and semicircular canals involved in hearing and balance.
6 The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to?
The eardrum, or tympanic membrane, in the middle ear serves to transmit sound waves from the outer ear to the ossicles (small bones in the ear) for further amplification and transmission to the inner ear. It also helps to protect the delicate structures of the inner ear.
What separates the outer from the inner ear?
The tympanic membrane, commonly known as the eardrum, separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It is made up of pars flaccid and pars tensa.
