Step 1
- Cochlea: A spiral-shaped cavity in the inner ear that is responsible for converting sound waves into neural signals. - Tympanic membrane: Also known as the eardrum, it receives sound waves and transmits them to the middle ear. - Vestibule: Part of the inner ear Show more…

In what order do the structures of the ear come into play when hearing? a. auditory canal-cochlea-tympanic membrane-cochlear nerve-malleus b. auditory canal-tympanic membrane-malleus-cochleacochlear nerve c. auditory tube-malleus-cochlea-incus-cochlear nerve d. malleus-tympanic membrane-cochlea-stapes-cochlear nerve
outer ear structures a) incus bony labyrinth components b) auditory tube ossicles involved in sound amplification c) cochlea equilibrates atmospheric & middle ear pressures d) endolymph transmits sound to the ossicles external auditory canal contains the organ of Corti f) malleus nasopharynx → middle ear connector g) oval window contain receptors for equilibrium h) perilymph transfers vibrations from stapes → inner ear i) pinna fluid inside membranous labyrinth j) round window fluid within bony labyrinth k) semicircular canals fits into the oval window l) stapes m) tympanic membrane n) vestibule
