WHAT THE FUNCTION OF THE MIDDLE EAR?
The tympanic membrane in the middle ear transforming sound waves into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations stimulate the inner ear.
What the ear does?
The ear receives vibrations or sound waves in the air through the ear's opening and down the ear canal. These vibrations strike the eardrum, which then makes vibrations. These vibrations are passed to three bones in the middle ear and into the cochlea, which then translates the vibrations into sound.
What is the the function of the outer ear?
The outer ear collects and funnels sound waves to the eardrum, where vibrations are carried into the middle ear.
Does the eardrum turn sound waves entering the ear into vibrations that moves the ossicles?
middle ear
What does the malleus do in the ear?
The malleus is a tiny bone in the middle ear that transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the incus (another middle ear bone). This process helps amplify and transfer sound energy to the inner ear, where it is converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
What help to amplify sound vibrations from the eardrum to the oval window?
The vibrations are amplified by the three tiny bones from your middle ear.
Part of the ear that amplify the sound waves?
Maleus, incus and stapes are the three small bones from the middle ear that amplify the sound.
What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
the middle ear
What cavity contains tiny bones that transmit sound vibrations to the organ of hearing in the inner ear?
middle ear cavity
What section of the ear makes vibrations stronger?
The three auditory ossicles of the middle ear amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
What structure passes sound vibrations to the cochlea turning sound vibration into mechanical movements?
those 3 tiny ear bones
How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
