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.

6 The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to?
The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to vibrate sound waves into the year. It transmits sound from the environment into the ossicles found in the middle ear.
What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
the middle ear
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! :)
What is the smallest bone your body?
The Stapes bone is the smallest bone in the human body. It is located in the middle ear, and it amplifies sound waves.
What is the purpose of the bone in the middle ear?
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.· tympanic side = malleus or hammer· middle = incus or anvil· oval window side = stapes or stirrup
What does the outer ear do to sound waves?
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
What is the purpose of the middle ear?
To convert sound waves into mechanical waves
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.
The middle ear is what?
is responsible for transmitting sound waves from the outer ear to the inner ear
6 The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to?
The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to vibrate sound waves into the year. It transmits sound from the environment into the ossicles found in the middle 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.
Which 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.
Which structure is between the middle ear and the inner ear?
Sound waves hit the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves. These sound vibrations are amplified and transmitted by the auditory ossicles of the middle ear to the inner ear where they are changed into electrical energy and 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?
ear drum
WHAT THE FUNCTION OF THE MIDDLE EAR?
The tympanic membrane in the middle ear transforming sound waves into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations stimulate the inner ear.
Does the eardrum turn sound waves entering the ear into vibrations that moves the ossicles?
middle ear
What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
the middle ear
