Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sound vibration travels through the auditory canal, causing the tympanic membrane to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted to the malleus, incus, and stapes, which amplify the vibrations and transmit them to the oval window. The oval window vibrates, causing the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate. The vibrations in the fluid are then detected by the hair cells in the cochlea, which convert the vibrations into electrical signals that are transmitted to the cochlear nerve.
