What else can I help you with?
Which sense organ contains the drum?
The ear contains the eardrum, a thin membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves and helps transmit sound signals to the brain for interpretation.
What part of the ear receives sound waves first?
The auricle or pinna of the outer ear acts like a horn to capture the sound waves which are then tunneled into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
Why is the ear drum and tiny bones so far in the ear?
The ear drum and tiny bones (ossicles) are located deep in the ear to help amplify and transmit sound vibrations effectively to the inner ear. Placing them deeper in the ear also helps to protect them from external damage and preserves their sensitivity to sound waves.
What is the structure and function of the ear drum in ear drum anatomy?
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is a thin, cone-shaped membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. Its main function is to transmit sound vibrations from the outer ear to the middle ear, where they are then converted into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain for interpretation. The eardrum also helps to protect the delicate structures of the middle ear from damage.
When sound waves enter your ear they first cause?
A sound wave is a type of pressure wave that travels through the air. As the wave travels into the ear canal (fancy name=external auditory meatus), it first will hit the ear drum (tympanic membrane). Since the sound wave is actually a pressure wave, it will push against the ear drum which will then rebound. This results in a vibration of the ear drum. The ear drum is connected to three little bones (malleus, incus and stapes) - the smallest bones in your body. These bones (together called the ossicular chain) rock back and forth when the ear drum vibrates thereby transmitting the pressure wave down the ossicular chain to the cochlea. The cochlea is a fluid filled sac and the ossicular chain is connected to it. As the ossicular chain vibrates, it pushes against the fluid in the cochlea. This causes the fluid to move around in a particular way so that special hairs within the cochlea are moved. These hair cells are in turn attached to a nerve cell. As the hair cells are moved, they activate the nerve cells which send information down a chain of neurones going up your brain stem, to your thalamus (medial geniculate nucleus) and then to your brain's auditory cortex which is when you perceive sound.
What is the correct name for the ear drum?

What is the name of the piece of the skin that's stretched tight like a drum?

What job does the ear drum do?

What membrane functions as an ear drum?
The eardrum's scientific name is the Tympanic Membrane.
What instrument can you carry in your ear?
an ear drum!
Where does the sound vibrate in the ear?
ear drum
What causes a burst ear drum?
An ear drum bursts by water putting pressure on the back of it.
Will a punctured ear drum heal?
The ear drum will heal but it will leave scar tissue. So you may have slight hearing loss in that ear. There is nothing that will heal the ear drum to its original condition.
Where is your ear drum located?
Your ear canal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :d
