The process by which a sound is transformed into a neural signal involves which of the following sequences of transformations?
A)sound wave, eardrum vibration, pressure wave in the fluid
B)eardrum vibration, pressure wave in the fluid, sound wave
C)sound wave, pressure wave in the fluid, eardrum vibration
D)eardrum vibration, sound wave, pressure wave in the fluid

Question

The correct sequence for transforming a sound into a neural signal starts with the sound wave, which first causes the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted as pressure waves in the fluid of the inner ear, where they can be converted into neural signals by the auditory nerve.
