Complete the following statements to describe the mechanism by which sound is converted from waves in the outer ear to nerve
impulses in the inner ear. Not all choices will be used.
Hearing is a process, it begins as sound waves enter the ___________,
the opening of the outer ear.
Through their vibrations, these waves cause vibration of the same frequency
on the ___________, the structure at the end of the outer ear.
The pressure created from the vibration is passed by the malleus (by way of
the incus) to the ___________; these three structures are found in the
middle ear.
The pressure is passed, by way of the ___________, to the fluid within the
cochlea.
Found in the inner ear, the cochlea is composed of three fluid-filled canals
___________ several membranes.
Movement in one of these membranes causes bending of hair cells in another
