How sound travels through the ear
External Ear
Auricle
collects sound waves traveling through air and directs them to external acoustic meatus
External Acoustic Meatus
Carries sound to the tympanic membrane
Tympanic Membrane
vibrates in response to the sound wave and reduces
the vibrations
Middle Ear
Malleus
as the malleus vibrates it transmits sounds to the incus
Incus
the incus then vibrates and send those vibrations to the stapes
stapes
the virbrations from the incus causes the stapes to vibrate and send the infomation to the oval window
Inner ear
Oval window
Movement from the stapes to the oval window transmits vibrations to the perilymph into scala vestibuli
Scala Vestibuli
vibrations pass through the vestibuliar membrane and enter the endolymph of cochlear duct
Cochlear Duct
wave motion is transmitted through the endolymph to the cochlear duct to the basiliar membrane
Basilar membrane
this causes the basilar membrane to vibrate which makes the organ of corti
