Which of the following sequences CORRECTLY reflects the order of events in which sound waves are converted into neural impulses in the ear, from first to last?
A) deflection of the basilar membrane formation of wave in cochlea vibration of the ossicles deflection of the tympanic membrane
B) deflection of the basilar membrane vibration of the ossicles formation of wave in cochlea deflection of the tympanic membrane
C) deflection of the tympanic membrane formation of wave in cochlea vibration of the ossicles deflection of the basilar membrane
D) deflection of the tympanic membrane vibration of the ossicles formation of wave in cochlea deflection of the basilar membrane

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sound waves first cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate, which then causes the ossicles to vibrate. This vibration leads to the formation of waves in the cochlea, which ultimately results in the deflection of the basilar membrane, converting sound waves into neural impulses.
