What is the bony tube that contains fluids as well as neurons that move in response to the vibrations of the fluids?

The bony tube that contains fluids as well as neurons that move in response to the vibrations of the fluids is called the cochlea. It is a spiral-shaped structure located in the inner ear and plays a crucial role in hearing by converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.


Does the eardrum turn sound waves entering the ear into vibrations that moves the ossicles?

The ear changes vibrations into what?

The ear changes vibrations into electrical signals. Sound waves enter the ear and cause the eardrum to vibrate, which in turn moves the tiny bones in the middle ear. These vibrations are then transmitted to the cochlea in the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical impulses that travel to the brain, allowing us to perceive sound.


How does your eardrum process sound?

It doesn't process anything, it is a part of a system (eardrum, 3 bones of the middle ear, and a thin part of your skull) that converts vibrations in the air into vibrations in the fluids of your inner ear. Those you can hear.


What part of three bones moves when vibrates as it struck?

The middle bone, the incus, moves when vibrations are received and transmitted in the middle ear. It transfers the vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.


How does the outer ear pass sound vibrations to the middle ear?

The outer ear collects sound waves and funnels them through the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves, which then transmit these vibrations to the middle ear through the three small bones called the ossicles.


What the ear does?

The ear receives vibrations or sound waves in the air through the ear's opening and down the ear canal. These vibrations strike the eardrum, which then makes vibrations. These vibrations are passed to three bones in the middle ear and into the cochlea, which then translates the vibrations into sound.


How the human ear hears sound?

1. The outer ear picks up the sound vibrations 2. These sound waves travel through the ear canal 3. The eardrum vibrates and make 3 tiny bones in the middle ear move 4. These bones send these vibrations to the shell-shaped structure called choqlea 5. The sound vibrations make the liquid in the cocheleq move making the hair move back and forth 6. The hair are joined to the nerves and send signals to your brain


What moves backwards and forwards in an ear?

The eardrum (tympanic membrane) moves backward and forward in response to sound waves, which then causes the tiny bones in the middle ear to vibrate and transmit the sound to the inner ear.


What converts sound vibrations into electrical impulses?

A microphone converts sound vibrations into electrical impulses by using a diaphragm that moves in response to sound waves. This movement is transformed into an electrical signal by a transducer, such as a coil or condenser, which generates a voltage proportional to the sound waves.


Which is the correct order of the steps involved in hearing an auditory message?

The correct order is sound waves entering the ear canal, then causing vibrations on the eardrum, which in turn moves the ossicles in the middle ear. The movement of the ossicles transfers the vibrations to the cochlea in the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals to be sent to the brain for processing.


What is the ear response to incoming sound wave?

The average response of a human ear at the ear drum is flat to about 500 Hz with a peak around 2.5KHz. This means that a tone at 300Hz will sound quieter than a tone with the same SPL output at 2KHz.
