What is auditory range in science?

Auditory range in science refers to the range of frequencies that human or animal ears are capable of detecting sound. For humans, the normal auditory range is approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Different species may have different auditory ranges depending on their hearing capabilities.


Does the auditory canal carry the message of sound to the brain?

No, the auditory canal simply serves to channel sound waves to the middle ear. Once in the middle ear, the sound waves are converted into vibrations that travel through the ossicles to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.


Which one of the following is the correct sequence of structures through which sound waves are sent to the brain?

Pinna, auditory canal, eardrum, middle ear, cochlea, vestibulocochlear nerve, temporal lobe


Sound waves from the air travel on the auditory nerve to the brain?

Sound waves enter the ear and strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the cochlea, where they stimulate hair cells to create electrical signals. These signals are then sent along the auditory nerve to the brain for processing.


What part of the brain receives sound?

The auditory cortex, located in the temporal lobe of the brain, is primarily responsible for processing sound information received from the ears. This region is involved in interpreting the pitch, volume, and location of sounds.

Where is the auditory cortex?

The primary auditory cortex, i.e. where the auditory signal first reach the cortex, is located on the Heshl's gyrus, on the supratemporal plane (the upper part of the temporal lobe). The auditory information then spreads to secondary auditory cortices located around primary the primary auditory cortex. Then the auditory signal diffuses to associative areas located in the parietal and frontal lobes.


What are auditory systems processed in?

Auditory stimuli are processed in the auditory system, which includes structures in the inner ear, auditory nerve, brainstem, and auditory cortex in the temporal lobe of the brain. This system is responsible for the detection, analysis, and interpretation of sound signals.
