When airwaves enter the ear through the ear canal, they cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate. This vibration moves the malleus, which then moves the incus, which then vibrates the stapes. The movement of the stapes vibrates the oval, which transmits the wave energy to the perilymph in the cochlea. Perilymph movement moves the hair cells, which transmit the sound signals through the auditory nerve to the auditory centers within the cortex.

The part of the ear where sound is transduced is (a) tympanic membrane (b) ear ossides (c) semicircular canals (d) cochlea.
Sound waves enter the external auditory canal and cause vibrations in structures and fluids of the ear. Identify in order the structures and fluids that vibrate in the pathway from the external auditory canal to the spiral organ of Corti.
