What else can I help you with?
What structure vibrates the malleus?
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) vibrates in response to sound waves, which in turn causes the malleus (hammer) bone to vibrate. The malleus is connected to the eardrum and transfers these vibrations to the other ossicles in the middle ear, ultimately transmitting the sound to the inner ear for processing.
What happens to the eardrum when sound goes in the ear?
It vibrates.
Which part of the ear vibrates at the frequency of sound waves?
The eardrum
Why do sound sound different to your ears?
Because how the way it vibrates your eardrum.
How does a string to make its sound?
It vibrates. The vibrations move through the dtring, then though the air and into your ear. In the ear the eardrum vibrates.
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is the thin membrane in the ear that vibrates when sound waves reach it. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle and inner ear for further processing.
What does your eardrum to when you make a noise?
It vibrates and sends signals to your brain quicker than a blink.
Which part of the vibrates when soundwaves hit it?
The membrane that vibrates and transmits the vibrations is called the tympanic membrane or the eardrum. It is the divider between the external and middle chambers of the 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! :)
Is there hair on the eardrum itself?
No, there is no hair on the eardrum. The eardrum is a thin membrane located in the middle ear that vibrates in response to sound waves, transmitting them to the inner ear. Hair cells in the inner ear, not the eardrum, convert these vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.
How is your eardrum like a stretched balloon?
Your eardrum is like a stretched balloon because it is a thin, flexible membrane that vibrates when sound waves hit it, similar to how a stretched balloon vibrates when touched or affected. This vibration helps to transmit sound signals to the inner ear for processing.
What is the bone in the eardrum?
There are no bones within the eardrum. The three bones in the inner ear are the malleus, the incus and the stapes.
