Malleus.
The primary function of the outer ear is to
Collect sound waves created by vibrating objects.
Which part of the outer ear collects sound waves?
Auricle (Pinna).
The middle ear is
Located in the temporal bone and air-filled.
Which of the following is NOT a function of the middle ear?
Convert sound vibrations into nerve impulses.
What is the role of the auditory ossicles?
To move sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
Which of the following is NOT one of the auditory ossicles?
Cochlea.
The auditory tube connects the middle ear to the
Throat.
The auditory tube helps to
Maintain equal pressure between the tympanic cavity and the outside air.
The cochlea is responsible for
Producing nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations.
Where is the organ of Corti located?
In the cochlea.
The organ of Corti contains
Sound receptors that respond to vibrations.
What is the function of the organ of Corti?
To produce nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations.
The pathway for hearing includes the following sequence
Pinna → Tympanic membrane → Cochlea → Auditory nerve → Brainstem.
Where does the auditory nerve send the sound signals after receiving them from the organ of Corti?
Thalamus.
Which part of the brain processes sound information?
Auditory cortex (Temporal lobe).
