Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sound waves enter through the auditory canal and vibrate the eardrum, which then causes the three small bones in the middle ear (malleus, incus, and stapes) to amplify and transmit the vibrations to the cochlea in the inner ear. The cochlear duct is responsible for converting these vibrations into neural impulses that can be sent to the brain for interpretation as sound. The vestibular canal and tympanic duct are also part of the cochlea, but they are not responsible for converting sound into neural impulses.
