∙ 10y agoThe eardrum (tympanic membrane) separates the outer ear from the middle ear, so it does share a spot in the middle part of the ear.

∙ 10y agoNO. The eardrum is the divider between the outer and middle ear chambers.
The oval window is the divider between the middle and inner ear chambers.

No it would seem to be but it's not

Describe the location and function of the eardrum and the cochlea?
the eardrum is in the middle ear and the cochlea is in the inner ear
Structure composing external ear?
Ear pinna, auditory canal and the eardrum.
What part of the ear find eardrum?
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the external ear from the middle ear
What part of the ear receives sound waves first?
The auricle or pinna of the outer ear acts like a horn to capture the sound waves which are then tunneled into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
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! :)
In which part of the ear receives the vibrations in the air?
The eardrum receives the vibrations of the air.
What is the function of the eardrum inner ear and outer ear?
to transmit sound entering the outer ear to the bones of the middle ear
What does the eardrum protect?
the eardrum protect the middle and inner ear.
Describe the location and function of the eardrum and the cochlea?
the eardrum is in the middle ear and the cochlea is in the inner ear
What is tympanum?
The main cavity of the ear; between the eardrum and the inner ear
How does your eardrum process sound?
It doesn't process anything, it is a part of a system (eardrum, 3 bones of the middle ear, and a thin part of your skull) that converts vibrations in the air into vibrations in the fluids of your inner ear. Those you can hear.
What part of the ear connects the eardrum to the inner ear?
The eardrum is not a bone but is a thin, cone-shaped piece of skin. It is positioned between the ear canal and the middle ear.
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.
Structure composing external ear?
Ear pinna, auditory canal and the eardrum.
How sound gets to the eardrum?
Sounds entering the ear canal through the air as sound pressure variations come to the eardrum and are send to the cochlea of the inner ear.
What part of the ear find eardrum?
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the external ear from the middle ear
What separates the outer from the inner ear?
The tympanic membrane, commonly known as the eardrum, separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It is made up of pars flaccid and pars tensa.
