What else can I help you with?
Does auditory tube transmits sound waves?
No, the auditory tube, also known as the Eustachian tube, is responsible for equalizing pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. It does not transmit sound waves.
Do ossicles equalize pressure?
No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.
What is the difference between the auditory ossicle and auditory canal?
The auditory canal:Located in the outer earWhere you would find ear waxEnds with the tympanic membraneThe auditory ossicle: Located in the middle earThere are three "little bones" (malleus, incus, stapes)Amplifies & transmits sound vibrations from tympanic membrane to oval window
What is the tube that sound waves travel along to get to the ear drum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
What tube permits soundwaves to reach the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.

What makes the air pressure in the middle and outer ear equal?
pharyngotympanic or auditory tube (formerly known as the eustachian tube)
How does the cochlea in the ear work?
The cochlea of the inner ear contains a membranous tube called the cochlear duct. This duct is filled with fluid that vibrates when the sound waves from the stirrup (stapes) bone strike against it. In the cochlear duct are delicate cells which make up the organ of Corti. These hair-like cells pick up the vibrations caused by sound waves against the fluid, then they transmit them through the auditory nerve to the hearing center of the brain.
What tube permits soundwaves to reach the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
What is the s shaped tube leading to the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
What is the function of the tympanic cavity?
The tympanic cavity, also known as the middle ear, functions to transmit sound vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear. It houses the ossicles (tiny bones) which amplify and transmit these vibrations, allowing them to be converted into nerve impulses for the brain to interpret as sound. Additionally, the Eustachian tube in the tympanic cavity helps regulate air pressure in the middle ear to maintain optimal hearing conditions.
What is the path sound travels through the ear to the auditory nerve?
The auditory system is essentially the entire pathway sound has to take. The peripheral auditory system takes the sound and translates it into the electrical processes that the brain can interpret. Then these signals get sent through the central auditory system.
How vibrations produced in your ear by a sound wave enable you to hear the sound?
The idea is that our ears have organs which are specifically designed to detect those vibrations. Note that only vibrations between about 20 and 20,000 hertz (i.e., cycles per second) can be detected by human ears.
What cavity contains tiny bones that transmit sounds vibrations to the organ of hearing in the inner ear?
Middle ear. It is attached to pharynx via eustachian tube.
