In which part of the ear are the cells that are senstive to sound?
The hairs in the cochlea are responsible for producing the nerve impulses that travel to the brain's temporal lobes to be interpreted as sound.
What part of the ear is sound produced by?
The ear does not produce (make) sound.
Which part of the ear traps sound?
The Pinna which is the external ear
What part of the ear determines the pitch of a sound?
That would be the brain. The ear itself is only designed to transfer the wave frequency through the hair cells in the cocchlea to the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve sends the signal to the brain where it is interpreted.
Which part of the ear trap sound waves?
ear drum
What cause humans to hear sound?
Sound travels through the air - causing the ear-drum to vibrate. This sends impulses to teh brain which is interpreted as sound.
How does sound happen?
By multiple vibrations in the air aka sound waves. An object which creates kinetic energy produces air pressure variations which are interpreted as sound by the brain via the ear drum and the nerves in the inner ear.
What part of the ear vibrates when sound waves strike it?
The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)
What part of your ear do sound waves enter through?
Ear canal
Part of the ear that catches sound waves?
External (outer) ear.
Which part of the ear collects sound waves?
The pinna of the ear collects sound waves. This is the part you see on the side of the head.
Name the part of the outer ear that directs sound waves to the tympanic?
That part is called as ear lobe or the pinna of the ear.
