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 hammer
- middle = incus or anvil
- oval window side = stapes or stirrup

∙ 10y agoThe "ossicles" are three "little bones" of the middle ear.
The malleus (hammer) is nearest the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and is the first of the ossicles to transmit the vibration of the sound waves to the oval window.

Do vibrations travel through air?
Yes. If they didn't you wouldn't hear sound. Your ear picks up the vibrations it receives and interprets them as sounds.
What does sound travel through to reach your ears?
sound is actually vibrations. your eardrum is designed to pick up these vibrations that we call sound. kind of like when you have a glass of water on the table, and then drop something on the table, the glass of water picks up these vibrations and creates ripples.
What sre sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal vibrations through matter that ears can pick up as sound.
What happens you increase the vibrations of sound?
Two things happen when you increase the vibrations of sound: 1. If the 'increase' is in strength, that is, bigger and deep vibrations, then the sound is louder. 2. If you increase the number of vibrations per second, then the pitch of the sound goes up .
What are sound effects?
Sounds are vibrations carried through a solid, liquid, or gas. The Eardrum picks up these vibrations, which vibrate the Eardrum, and send the signal through the auditory nerve where the brain deciphers the signal.
How does sound travel to your ear?
sound is actually vibrations. your eardrum is highly sensitive, like ripples on water, it picks up these vibrations
What makes a sound and how do you hear it?
sound waves, your eardrum picks up these vibrations and transforms them into messages which your brain recieves
Do vibrations travel through air?
Yes. If they didn't you wouldn't hear sound. Your ear picks up the vibrations it receives and interprets them as sounds.
How does sound travel from a loud speaker to your ear?
Sound leaves the speaker in the form of a wave, through the air, and enters your year, where the eardrum picks up the vibrations of the wave and sends a signal to your brain which interprets the vibrations as sound.

How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
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.
Which part of the ear picks up vibrations from the atmosphere?
the ear drum
How does the human ear hear?
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 causes all sounds?
sound comes from disturbances in the air, causing vibrations in the air molecules. Our ear has a bone (The stirrup, also known as the tiniest bone in the body ) that picks up these vibrations and sends a signal to the brain depending on how much the stirrup moved.
How does the brain tell from which direction a sound comes answers.com psychology?
The brain picks up the vibrations from the sound waves. It would be like if your phone vibrated on you in your pocket, you could immediatly tell where it was coming from, right?
Does your ear or the brain do the hearing?
both. Your eardrum receives the vibrations of the sound waves, your cochlea converts that vibration into electrical signals which are then interpreted or "heard" by the auditory cortex of your brain. the brain after it picks up the sound from the ear..
What does the chochlea do?
picks up the sound
