Auditory System
The process of the auditory system
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Outer ear collects sound waves |
| Step 2 | The vibrations move through the ear canal to the eardrum |
| Step 3 | Causes movement of the Malleus, then the Incus, and finally the stapes |
| Step 4 | When the stapes pushes on the oval window, it causes movement of fluid within the cochlea |
| Step 5 | These stimulate the auditory nerves which carry signals to the brain and the brain recognises these signals as sound |
