What are vibrations in the air processed by the auditory system?
sound waves
Sound waves from the air travel on the auditory nerve to the brain?
No, electrical impulses generated within the auditory senses do that.
Do sound waves travel down the auditory canal by bone conduction?
Yes
What is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
basilar membranes
Sound waves entering the external auditory canal hit the eardrum also known as?
Tympanic Membrane
Where do soundwaves go after the auditory ossicles?
After the auditory ossicles, sound waves enter the cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear. Inside the cochlea, the sound waves are converted into electrical impulses by hair cells. These impulses are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are processed and interpreted as sound.
Does auditory tube transmits sound waves?
No. It does not transmit the sound waves.
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
What do sound waves have that other waves don't?
They have the ability to trigger vibrations in our auditory organs. Other properties of sound waves are shared with mechanical waves.

No, electrical impulses generated within the auditory senses do that.
How loudspeaker can increase the power of sound?
it amplifies the sound actually, by strengthening the waves. the sound waves are converted into equivalent electrical waves and then it amplifies and later those electrical waves are converted the sound waves . the principle of electromagnetic induction is applied here.

Do sound waves travel down the auditory canal by bone conduction?
Yes
How does the mammalian ear functions as a hearing organ?
Sound waves are collected and directed to the auditory canal by the pinna. The tympanic membrane(a.k.a ear drum) transmits the sound waves by means of vibrations to the auditory ossicles: hammer(malleus), anvil(incus), stirrup(stape). The ossicles are a chain of small bones which leads through an opening(oval window) covered by thin membrane between the middle and inner ear. The stirrup transmits the vibrations to the membrane on oval window, which then vibrates as well. The vibrations are tranfered to the cochlea, which sets up waves in the endolymph. This stimulates the organ of Corti. Stimulus in converted to a nerve impulse. The impulse in carried ay the auditory nerve to the cerebrum for interpretation. That's that. I !
Sound waves travel from the air to the tympanic membrane by way of the?
external auditory meatus
What is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
basilar membranes
