What are the three major parts of the peripheral auditory system How does each function in detecting sound?
Outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer is the ear lobe, it collects pressure variations in the air. The middle acts as a transducer; changing high amplitude air waves into low amplitude liquid waves, and the inner ear changes the liquid waves into nerve impulses.
What does virbration pass from the eardrum?
Large amplitude - low power vibrations in air move the ear drums.They are connected to the ossicles( malleus, incus, and stapes),bones of the middle ear which change the vibrations into low amplitude - high power vibrationswhich are transmitted through the skull to the fluid of the inner ear.Those (fluid) vibrations are what you can detect as sound.
How do sound vibrations affect structures in the ear to produce the sensation of hearing?
3 Factors fall into actions for this to happen. Amplitude of the wave frequency of the wave and wavelength. The amplitude determines the tone of the sound waves the frequency the pitch and the wavelength the type of wave i.e. which instrument or person is producing it. The different combinations provide specific identifications of the substances producing these sounds and what type of sounds they are.
What do parts of the ear do?
They help us hear sounds, and transfers the sounds into the brain.
What do bats hate?
Being creatures of acute hearing sense, they particularly hate high intensity sounds that are beyond the hearing level of the human ear. Supersonic sound emitters can accomodate this.
What is the stirrup doing in the human ear?
It's a part of the "transducer" that converts air sounds (large, low pressure) into liquid sounds (low amplitude, high pressure) - it connects the ear drum to the inner ear (a thin section of the skull.
What does the amplitude of a wave depend on?
In the case of sound, amplitude is related to volume or loudness.- loud sounds generate waves of larger amplitude and your ear would register sound waves of large amplitude as louder.
What is The external part of the ear that helps catch sound is the?
No part of the ear actually amplifies sound, but the middle ear changes the nature of the waves from high amplitude to low amplitude but stronger waves to make the transition from air to liquid.
What transfers vibrations to the inner ear?
No. Vibrations are changed into signals by the "hairs" (a part of nerve cells, not real hair) in the inner ear. The function of the bones of the middle ear is to change the low pressure, high amplitude sound waves into high pressure, low amplitude waves - for the inner ear to process.
The loudness of a sound is a reflection of its?
The "loudness" with which you perceive a sound is determined by -- the amplitude of the sound as it leaves the source -- the distance between you and the source -- obstacles or absorptive media in the path between the source and your ear -- reflective surfaces near the path, leading to multipath interference, constructive or destructive at the frequencies that comprise the sound -- the relative amplitude response of your ear at the frequencies that comprise the sound.
What Ares sounds that are to high pitched for the human ear to hear called?
Ultrasound.
How does humans perceive changes in frequency?
cochlea of ear perceive and respond to various frequencies in sound...
Can the ear distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude?
No, the ear cannot distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude.
Can you make a sentence with the word audible in it?
Dogs are able to perceive many sounds that are not audible to the human ear. The puppy's quiet whimpering was barely audible above the blaring music. With my new hearing aids, high pitched sounds are audible again. The girl's quiet response was barely audible above the noisy chatter of her classmates.
How the human ear is frequency dependent?
There are two transducers (the ear drum and a thin section of skull) where sound is shifted from one media to another (air 2 mechanical & mechanical to liquid), and a transducer in between to change high amplitude, low power into low amplitude, high power. Each one of these is a mechanical device with its own resonant frequencies and moments of inertia.
What protects the ear collects sounds and channels them?
Outer ear

Outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer is the ear lobe, it collects pressure variations in the air. The middle acts as a transducer; changing high amplitude air waves into low amplitude liquid waves, and the inner ear changes the liquid waves into nerve impulses.
