How is sound transmitted to water?
Sound is transmitted through water the same way it's transmitted through air -- by vibrations. Whatever is making the noise makes vibrations in the water, which then strike against your eardrum and vibrate it, and then the vibrations travel through some bones in your head to a bundle of nerves, which transmit the signal to your brain, which produces the sensation we call sound.
How is sound reproduced?
Sound is actually a series of sound waves or vibrations. These waves pulse against the eardrum, which the bones to the ear send to the brain as sounds. Acoustics in audio equipment convert sound on a record back into sound waves.
What happens when sound waves strike the eardrum?
Your eardrum will vibrate and transfer the sound vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear, which carry the vibrations to the cochlea of the inner ear, where they are transformed into nerve impulses.
Explain how do you hear?
The tympanic membrane, or eardrum, receives sound in the first step. It sends a ripple, a reverberation of the sound, across the malleus, incus, and stapes (the three smallest bones in the body), and into the cochlea. The cochlea reverberates into the auditory nerve, which carries to the brain and delivers the sound.
What structure picks up sound vibrations?
The malleus is the first of the three auditory ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear. The next on in line is the incus (anvil).tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup

What two structures are on either end of the ossicles or ear bones?
The 3 ossicles (little bones) are located in the middle ear. Sound waves vibrate the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted by the malleus, incus and stapes to the oval window, which is the "window" to the inner ear where the "sound" is converted into electrical energy and sent to the brain for interpretation. The ossicles don't "connect" anything -- they transmit sound vibrations.
Part of the ear that amplify the sound waves?
Maleus, incus and stapes are the three small bones from the middle ear that amplify the sound.
Where are the movable bones of the ear located?
The three auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. They are movable and their function is to amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
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 is audiometry testing administered using a headband?
The headband is worn with small plastic rectangles that fit behind the ears to conduct sound through the bones of the skull. The patient being tested senses the tones that are transmitted as vibrations through the bones to the inner ear
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.
What happens when sound reaches the nerves of the ear?
Sound doesn't actually affect the nerves. Sound makes the eardrum, ear bones and the fluid in the cochlea vibrate. The vibrations in the fluid make tiny hairs on the walls move, and these cause the nerves to generate electric signals which are transmitted to the brain.
What help to amplify sound vibrations from the eardrum to the oval window?
The vibrations are amplified by the three tiny bones from your middle ear.
Does the eardrum send messages to the inner ear?
Yes. Ear drum send messages to inner ear in the form of vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted through three small bones in the middle ear.
How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea when conduction deafness is present?
Sound is conducted to the receptors of the ear through vibrations of the skull bones. This is because in conduction deafness the ossicles are fused such as the stapes foot plate which can fuse to the oval window, and ossicles can fuse to oneanother from overgrowth of bony tissue. Vibrations arent specific this way and detailed so vibrations are picked up by larger surrounding bones which becomes distorted sound.
What structure passes sound vibrations to the cochlea turning sound vibration into mechanical movements?
those 3 tiny ear bones
