The eardrum
Tympanic membrane --> malleus --> incus --> stapes --> oval window --> cochlea
The stapes, the smallest bone in the human body, transmits sound vibrations from the middle ear to the cochlea in the inner ear. It functions to amplify and transfer sound waves to the fluid-filled cochlea.
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is located at the end of the ear canal. It vibrates in response to sound waves and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear. The cochlea is a spiral-shaped structure located in the inner ear that converts these vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation as sound.
cochlea
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.tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe stapes/stirrup are the nearest ossicle to the cochlea of the inner ear.
Cochlea
The cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear, is responsible for changing vibrations into nerve signals. Inside the cochlea, specialized hair cells convert the mechanical vibrations of sound waves into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
The cochlea is the spiral-shaped part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. It is filled with fluid and contains hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals sent to the brain for interpretation.
Impulses in the ear are transmitted by hair cells located in the cochlea. These hair cells convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
The cochlea in your ear is responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by your brain.
Yes, the ossicles located in the middle ear are responsible for transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea in the inner ear.
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
