Where is the basilar membrane most sensitive to the vibrations of very high-frequency sound waves?
closest to the cochlea
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum vibrates when sound waves reach it.
Sound waves are converted into mechanical movements by?
That would be the tympanic membrane!!
Sound waves beat against a large membrane of the outer ear called the eardrum or?
Typanic membrane
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 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 is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
basilar membranes
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum vibrates when sound waves reach it.
What a thin membrane that transmits sound waves into the middle ear?
tympanic membrane
The tympanic membrane converts sound waves into?
vibrations
Sound waves are converted into mechanical movements by?
That would be the tympanic membrane!!
How are the hair cells in the cochlea stimulated when the oval window is tapped by the stapes?
When the stapes taps on the oval window of the cochlea, it creates waves of pressure within the perilymph. The pressure waves within the perilymph are transferred to the basilar membrane of the organ of corti. The vibrations of the basilar membrane cause the attached hair cells to vibrate against the tectoral membrane. These vibrations are detected by the axons extending from the spiral ganglion in to the spiral lamina, and the impulses are sent to the brain via the cochlear nerve.
How does sound travels to the tympanic membrane?
Pressure waves (fluctuations) in air.
