What two structures transmit vibrations from the external auditory canal to the inner ear fluid?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
In turning sound waves into vibrations and ultimately into electrical energy to be interpreted by the brain, these two structurs must transmit vibrations from the auditory canal to the fluid environment of the inner ear:
- tympanic membrane (eardrum)
- the three ossicles of the middle ear (malleus/incus/stapes)

∙ 14y agothe stirrup (aka stapes)
the path of sound from the outside to the innder ear is:
outer ear>eardrum>hammer>anvil>stirrup>vestibule of inner ear (and the sound is distributed around the inner ear from the vestibule)

Does the auditory tube transmit sound vibrations?
No
What section of the ear makes vibrations stronger?
The three auditory ossicles of the middle ear amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
Do ossicles equalize pressure?
No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.
Where are the movable bones of the ear located?
The three auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. They are movable and their function is to amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
What is the nerve that helps transmit sound signals to your brain?
Auditory
Does the auditory tube transmit sound vibrations?
No
What section of the ear makes vibrations stronger?
The three auditory ossicles of the middle ear amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
The malleus incus and stapers conduct vibrations from the eardrum to what?
The three auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window, and thus into the fluid environment of the inner ear.
Do ossicles equalize pressure?
No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.
Where are the movable bones of the ear located?
The three auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. They are movable and their function is to amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
What is fusion of the ossicles?
Fusion or fixation of the ossicles is where one or more of the three auditory ossicles cannot transmit sound vibrations for a variety of reasons. This does cause "conduction" deafness or hearing loss.
What is the function of the auditory ossicles and what are their names?
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.· tympannic side = malleus or hammer· middle = incus or anvil· oval window side = stapes or stirrup
How does a snake hear?
Although pythons lack an external ear or ear drum, their skin and bones pick up vibrations and transmit them to a functional inner ear.
A membrane that transmits sound vibrations to the auditory ossicles?
Sound travels through the auricle, aka pinna, aka external flap of skin and cartilage that a lay person calls an ear, acts as a funnel directing sound toward ear canal and terminating at Tympanic Membrane, or Eardrum.
What is the nerve that helps transmit sound signals to your brain?
Auditory
What does the stapes or stirrup press against?
The stapes (aka stirrup) is one of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. It presses up against the oval window to transmit sound vibrations into the fluid environment of the inner ear.
How is hearing loss related to the ossicles?
If there is a change to the basic structure or functioning ability of your auditory ossicles, this would result in Conductive Deafness as the ossicles will not be able to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
