Steps to "hearing"

Get a part1 and practice finding what goes where for ear quiz Wednesday 10/14

Part 1

The outer ear collects and focuses sound wave vibrations

Part 2

The sound waves make the eardrum vibrate, which then transmits the vibrations to the middle ear.

Part 3

The ear drum causes 3 tiny bones to vibrate (Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup)

The middle ear has 3 tiny bones

Part 4

The tiny bones make the fluid in the cochlea vibrate

Part 5

This causes tiny hairs to vibrate (in cochlea)

Part 6

Vibrations are passed to the auditory nerve then onto the brain

Part 7

The brain interprets sound!
