Is the part of the ear that is set into vibration by vibrating air molecules the cochlea?
The eardrum is the first thing that vibrates in response to vibrating air or "sound". The cochlea is the last step in the process, and instead of vibrating it is filled with fluid that moves in response to vibration on a small window on the side. This moves the cochlear fluid and then is transferred to the brain through small hairs inside the organ. Three tiny bones (Malleus, Incus, and Stapes) transfer the vibration from the eardrum to the cochlea.
What do the mechanoreceptors in your cochlea respond to?
Cilia and fluid in your cochlea respond to the vibration of oval window. Fluid vibrates between your oval and round window.
What causes the cochlea to vibrate?
The inner ear is a snail-shaped structure called the cochlea, which is filled with fluid. When the oval window vibrates, it causes the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate. This fluid surrounds a membrane running through the middle of the cochlea called the basilar membrane. The answer of your question is the Basilar Membrane.
Does the ear canal end at a tightly stretched membrain called the cochlea?
The ear canal actually ends at the eardrum. This is the tightly stretched membrane, also known as the "tympanic membrane". The cochlea is located in the inner ear and is a cavity filled with fluid.
What part of the ear vibrates when you hear sound?
There is a ear drum placed between external and internal ear. It is the most prominent structure that vibrates to produce sound. Then the three tiny bones in the middle ear also vibrate. Then the oval and round windows also vibrate. Then the hair cells in the inner ear also vibrate. The fluid that is present in the cochlea also vibrates.

How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea?
Sound waves cause the thin skin of the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration, in turn, vibrates a chain of three tiny bones which are attached, at one end of the chain, to the eardrum, and at the other end of the chain, to a thin drumlike structure on on the opening to the cochlea. The vibration of this "round window" as it is called, causes the fluid inside the cochlea to flow, which in turn causes tiny hairs inside the cochlea to move. These hairs, when moved, send signals to the brain which are interpreted as sound.

What happens after the eardrum and small bones in your ear vibrate?
Once the last bone (the stapes) vibrates, it hammers up and down at a space called the oval window in the cochlea of the inner ear. The cochlea is filled with a fluid, and the vibrations of the stapes send pressure waves through the fluid. There is a membrane in the cochlea that is bent back and forth in different places based on the intensity of the sound, and the bending of the membrane causes small hair-like stereocillia to bend and send an electrical impulse to the brain to be interpreted as sound.
Explain how the different parts of your ear processes a trumpet's song Include in your explanation the roles of the eardrum and cochlea?
The membrane, called the eardrum, vibrates at the same frequency as the sound waves that strike it.The sound waves pass through the eardrum to the middle ear. The middle ear contains three small bones that also vibrate. This helps to amplify the sound and make it clearer.The vibrations from the bones in the middle ear travel to the inner ear. The inner ear contains a snail-shaped tube called the cochlea. The cochlea is filled with fluid and nerve cells that move back and forth with the motion of the vibrations. Their movement sends signals to the brain through the auditory nerve.

How does the cochlea work?
The cochlea is responsible for hearing and is filled with fluid. When the oval window vibrates the fluid in the inner ear moves around. The membrane inside the cochlea has different levels of thickness and the vibrations have different frequency and correspond to different pitches of sound that the ear interprets. The oval windows vibration frequency is transmitted through the fluid wave within the inner ear. The fluid crosses over the membrane, depending on the frequency and stimulates nerves that transmit a signal to the brain.
