Energy waves are directed down the ear canal to the eardrum by the?
The ear drum vibrates by the vibrating air molecules near it due to the sound wave.
Sound waves entering the external auditory canal hit the eardrum also known as?
Tympanic Membrane
What is the tube that sound waves travel along to get to the ear drum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
What is the useful energy in a whistle?
acoustic energy, when you make sound it is audible because it is in sound waves that move through the atmosphere and into you ear to vibrate your eardrum
What occurs in the eardrum?
Vibration from sound waves
What causes the auditory ossicles to vibrate?
The sound waves, coming through the auditory canal, strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).The eardrum vibrates because of the soundwaves.This vibration is picked up by the ossicles and transmitted through the middle ear to the oval window.Therefore it is the soundwaves causing the eardrum to vibrate that ultimately makes the ossicles vibrate.
Trace the path of sound waves as they enter the ear Start with the outer ear?
Sound waves first enter the outer ear, which consists of the pinna (visible portion) and the ear canal. The pinna helps collect sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. The sound waves then travel through the ear canal and reach the eardrum (tympanic membrane) at the end of the canal.
Which structure is between the middle ear and the inner ear?
Sound waves hit the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves. These sound vibrations are amplified and transmitted by the auditory ossicles of the middle ear to the inner ear where they are changed into electrical energy and sent to the brain for interpretation.
What collects sounds and funnels it into the ear canal?
the correct answer is : ear canal or you could just write canal if you are doing a sheet/ homework sheet called: 8LD(4) Ear diagram- then write ear canal, if not then choose between; ear canal and canal
Which one of the following is the correct sequence of structures through which sound waves are sent to the brain?
Pinna, auditory canal, eardrum, middle ear, cochlea, vestibulocochlear nerve, temporal lobe
Sound is actually vibrating waves of what?
the organ of the eardrum
What part of the outer ear transmits sound by vibrating?
When a sound is made outside the outer ear, the sound waves, or vibrations, travel down the external auditory canal and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum vibrates. The vibrations are then passed to 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. The ossicles amplify the sound.
