Stimuli produced by sound waves reach the brain following the pathway:
A)cochlear duct → spiral organ → ossicles → oval window → auditory canal → tympanic membrane → fibers of cochlear nerve
B)auditory canal → tympanic membrane → oval window → cochlear duct → ossicles → spiral organ → fibers of cochlear nerve
C)cochlear duct → oval window → auditory canal → tympanic membrane → ossicles → spiral organ → fibers of cochlear nerve
D)tympanic membrane → auditory canal → ossicles → oval window → cochlear duct → spiral organ → fibers of cochlear nerve
E)auditory canal → tympanic membrane → ossicles → oval window → cochlear duct → spiral organ → fibers of cochlear nerve

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sound waves travel through the auditory canal, vibrate the tympanic membrane, pass through the ossicles, reach the oval window, enter the cochlear duct, stimulate the spiral organ, and are transmitted via the fibers of the cochlear nerve to the brain.
