How the sound travels inside the ear?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Vibrations enter the ear through the auditory canal. The vibrations cause the tympanum (eardrums) to vibrate. These vibrations are picked up by the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The stirrup transmits the vibrations to the oval window. Vibrations of the oval window create pressure waves in the fluid filled cochlea of the inner ear. The pressure waves push tiny hairs lined in the cochlea back and forth. In response to the movements, the hair cells send nerve impulses that are sent to the brain through the cochlear nerve.

Vibrations -> Auditory Canal -> Tympanum -> Hammer -> Anvil -> Stirrup -> Oval Window -> Cochlea -> Cochlea hairs -> Cochlear nerve -> Brain

Answer 3

The sound waves in the human ear follow this pathway:

Ear canal >>>> Eardrum >>>> Malleus >>>> Incus >>>> Stapes >>>> Promontory >>>> Cochlea >>>> Organ of Corti >>>> Cochlear nerve

* The cochlear nerve may also be called the auditory or acoustic nerve * The eardrum may also be called the tympanic membrane

Answer 4

Vibrations enter the ear through the auditory canal. The vibrations cause the tympanum (eardrums) to vibrate. These vibrations are picked up by the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The stirrup transmits the vibrations to the oval window. Vibrations of the oval window create pressure waves in the fluid filled cochlea of the inner ear. The pressure waves push tiny hairs lined in the cochlea back

and forth. In response to the movements, the hair cells send nerve impulses that are sent to the brain through the cochlear nerve.

Vibrations -> Auditory Canal -> Tympanum -> Hammer -> Anvil -> Stirrup -> Oval Window -> Cochlea -> Cochlea hairs -> Cochlear nerve -> Brain

Answer 5

sound wave enters auditory canal, then to the eardrum and it vibrates, and then the hair cells carry the vibration to cochlea, and then to the auditory nerve.

Answer 6

It travels as a series of compressions and rarefactions through the vibrating medium i.e air as a wave until the ear drums pick up the vibrations

Answer 7

Outer ear via the ear canal, the eardrum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear (via the auditory ossicles), and then the cochlea.
