There are actually 2 "openings," both of which are covered by connective tissue of some sort. One opening is called the fenestra vestibuli or oval window, and the base of the stapes is attached by a ligament (called the anular ligament) to the fenestra vestibuli. The other opening is the round window and is covered by the secondary tympanic membrane.

6 The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to?
The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to vibrate sound waves into the year. It transmits sound from the environment into the ossicles found in the middle ear.
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.
What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
the middle ear
What is the purpose of the bone in the middle ear?
The auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.· tympanic side = malleus or hammer· middle = incus or anvil· oval window side = stapes or stirrup
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 a thin membrane that transmits sound waves into the middle ear?
tympanic membrane
Does auditory tube transmits sound waves?
No. It does not transmit the sound waves.
6 The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to?
The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to vibrate sound waves into the year. It transmits sound from the environment into the ossicles found in the middle ear.
Can there still be sound in a vacuum?
No. Sound transmits by waves through matter/particles.
Can sound move stuff?
yes sound transmits vibrations to objects in the manner of waves
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum vibrates when sound waves reach it.
What is the function of typhanic membrane?
The tympanic membrane, commonly called the eardrum, is actually a membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear. The function is to transmit sound waves to the ossicles, or bones, of the middle ear.
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 transmits a sound through solid?
Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.
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.
What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
the middle ear
What does the outer ear do to sound waves?
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
