The middle ear does not really deal with the sound it just passes it though. The receptors are in the INNER ear. They are cells in the walls of the cochlea attached to minute hairs floating in the cochlear liquid.

What does the outer ear do to sound waves?

to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear


What are the small bones in the middle ear that transfer sound waves to the inner ear called?

The small bones in the middle ear that transfer sound waves to the inner ear are called the ossicles.


What are the functions of the outer, middle, and inner ear in the process of hearing?

The outer ear collects sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. The middle ear amplifies the sound waves and transmits them to the inner ear. The inner ear converts the sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.


Are auditory receptor cells located in the anvil?

No, auditory receptor cells are not located in the anvil. Auditory receptor cells are located in the inner ear, specifically in the cochlea, where they are responsible for converting sound waves into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain for processing. The anvil, also known as the incus, is one of the three tiny bones in the middle ear that help transmit sound from the outer ear to the inner ear.


What gathers the sound waves?

Sound waves are gathered by the outer ear, which consists of the pinna and ear canal. The pinna acts as a funnel to capture sound waves and funnel them into the ear canal, where they then travel to the middle ear.


What is the the function of the outer ear?

The outer ear collects and funnels sound waves to the eardrum, where vibrations are carried into the middle ear.


What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?

The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is the part of the ear that converts sound waves into vibrations. When sound waves reach the eardrum, it vibrates and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear.


The middle ear is what?

is responsible for transmitting sound waves from the outer ear to the inner ear


Structures within the ear transfer a sound wave during hearing?

The ear drums are responsible from transferring sound waves from the outer ear to the middle ear. It vibrates in response to these waves.


How does the outer ear pass sound vibrations to the middle ear?

The outer ear collects sound waves and funnels them through the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves, which then transmit these vibrations to the middle ear through the three small bones called the ossicles.


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.


As sound enters the ear it vibrates the at the boundary between the outer ear and middle ear and causing the sound waves to them vibrate the hammer?
