Sound waves enter the ear, go through the ear canal to the ear drum, through the middle ear to the inner ear where the sound wave (vibrations) reach a mechanism called a cochlea which converts the vibrations to electrical impulses. The electrical information is guided via nerve cells to the brain which interprets the electrical information as sounds.
What else can I help you with?
Is the result of the transduction of air pressure waves into neural messages that are interpreted by the brain?
Yes, the result of transducing air pressure waves into neural messages is the perception of sound in the brain. This process involves the conversion of sound waves into electrical signals by the hair cells in the inner ear, which are then transmitted to the brain for interpretation.
How do sound waves reach your ears?
The path that it undergoes is:1.Eardrum,2.Ear Bones,3.Cochlea,4.Auditory Nerve.+++Yes, that's the anatomy but not the answer to that question, which actually almost answers itself. Sound is a series of pressure-waves travelling through the air (or water).
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
Sound waves pass through the cochlea and cause tiny hair cells to bend, which generates electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are interpreted as sounds.
Why does the ear pick up sound waves instead of light waves?
The two are different because Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves, but light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves, and sound requires a medium through which to travel, but light doesn't. Basically, Sound waves move sort of differently than Light waves.
Does the auditory canal carry the message of sound to the brain?
No, the auditory canal simply serves to channel sound waves to the middle ear. Once in the middle ear, the sound waves are converted into vibrations that travel through the ossicles to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
Who discovered you hear with your ears?
you actuallydont hear with your ears sound waves go into your ear which vibrate your eardrum and somehow sends the message to your brain that there is sound in the air.
Why do sound need waves?
to get to your brain
How do you hear sound?
Sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals by hair cells. These signals travel along the auditory nerve to the brain, which then processes them as sound.
How does the ear canal help make it possible to hear sounds?
because the sound waves enter your canal and passes it to to the nerve which shoots the message to your brain.
How do sound waves produce sound?
They vibrate your ear drums and your brain translates that into sound.
What does the brain use the stimuli from the hair cells in the canals for?
The brain uses the stimuli in the hair cells to detect sound waves and then change it so that it can send you a "message" that you heard sound Sorry if it's all wrong. I got this questions for my Bio test
The process of sound waves travelling to the brain is known as what conduction?
The process of sound waves traveling to the brain is known as auditory conduction. This process involves the vibration of the eardrum, which then transmits the sound waves through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear. The hair cells in the cochlea then convert the sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
What transmits sound waves to the inner ear making waves in the fluid in the cochlea?
The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea). ... The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.
Sound is created when object?
vibrates, causing air particles to bump into each other and create waves that travel through the air as sound waves. These sound waves are then perceived by our ears and interpreted by our brain as sound.
What is the function of the human ear?
The human ear is responsible for detecting and processing sound waves. It consists of three main parts: the outer ear, which collects sound waves; the middle ear, which amplifies and transmits sound waves; and the inner ear, which converts sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.
What is another word for sound wave?
Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, to be received and perceived by the brain. Other words for sound waves include acoustic waves, longitudinal waves, compression waves, and transverse waves.
