What occurs when sound waves don't pass through the outer to the inner ear?
You don't hear anything. They don't actually have to get there through the outer ear. If your ear is plugged, or if your 'tympanum' (ear drum) is broken, the vibrations can conduct through the bone that you feel behind your ear. But they do have to get to the inner ear somehow. If vibrations don't reach the cochlea in the inner ear, then you don't hear anything.
What membrane do pyruvic acid molecules pass through?
the inner/outer membranes of mitochondria
Why can your ear hear sound?
Because my eardrums are sensitive to the oscillations in the molecules in the air and pass on the vibrations to the inner ear where tiny hairs in fluid, attached to nerves, convert the vibrations into electrical signals which my brain can then interpret as sound.
Why is the s-wave shadow zone larger than the p- wave shadow zone?
S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
What takes sound waves from the inner ear to the brain?
Sound travels in waves. Our ears pick up these waves and funnel them to the eardrum. The eardrum interprets them as vibrations. These vibrations pass through the eardrum, into the inner ear via the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones. This causes fluid in the inner ear to bend tiny hairs which convert the vibrations into nerve impulses. The auditory nerve then sends the signals to the brain, which converts them again into the sound of what is heard.
Why the sound waves could not pass through vacuum?
Sound waves need to cause vibrations in a medium in order to travel. Vibrations cannot be created in a vacuum, as there is no matter present.
Do snake have ears?
Snakes do not have ears. Instead, they rely on vibrations, heat, and motion. They follow heat and some motions. What you see in shows where a person is playing a song, which is when the snake is dancing up from a container, is not true. They cannot hear, but follow the owner or trainer's motions. they use their underbelly to detect vibration..
What does virbration pass from the eardrum?
Large amplitude - low power vibrations in air move the ear drums.They are connected to the ossicles( malleus, incus, and stapes),bones of the middle ear which change the vibrations into low amplitude - high power vibrationswhich are transmitted through the skull to the fluid of the inner ear.Those (fluid) vibrations are what you can detect as sound.
Why can't s waves pass trough the earth's core while p waves can?
This is because the Outer Core is liquid, and we know from experiments that S-waves cannot travel through liquids. If they could pass through the outer core, they could pass through the Inner, but they are absorbed by the first barrier, at the Gutenberg Discontinuity.
What organ detects sound?
The ear drum. Then the ear drum pass the vibrations onto the hammer, stirrup, and anvil (the smallest bones in the human body in the inner ear), where nerves send electrical impulses called synapses to the brain. The brain processes the vibrations and sends you the sound the noise created.
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the solid inner core?
Seismic waves than changes direction and speed because of the matter it's passing through and the moving from different matter's (Inner core-Outer core)
What are the main parts of the human ears?
The human ear has three main sections, which consist of the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Sound waves enter your outer ear and travel through your ear canal to the middle ear. The ear canal channels the waves to your eardrum, a thin, sensitive membrane stretched tightly over the entrance to your middle ear. The waves cause your eardrum to vibrate. It passes these vibrations on to the hammer, one of three tiny bones in your ear. The hammer vibrating causes the anvil, the small bone touching the hammer, to vibrate. The anvil passes these vibrations to the stirrup, another small bone which touches the anvil. From the stirrup, the vibrations pass into the inner ear. The stirrup touches a liquid filled sack and the vibrations travel into the cochlea, which is shaped like a shell. Inside the cochlea, there are hundreds of special cells attached to nerve fibers, which can transmit information to the brain. The brain processes the information from the ear and lets us distinguish between different types of sounds.
