• cochlea

• ossicles

• malleus, incus, and sternum

• tympanic membrane

What structure separates the middle ear from the external ear?

• Oval Window

• Round Window

• Tympanic Membrane

• Ossicles

• Basilar Membrane

The visible structure of the ear that collects sound waves is referred to as the ____.

• tympanic membrane

• auricle

• pinna

• oval window

• mallard

The ________ ear collects sounds waves and transmits them to the ________ ear, which contains auditory ossicles.

• superficial; deep

• outer; middle

• inner; middl

• middle; inne

• outer; inner

Which of these anatomical sequences is correct?

• tympanum-incus-malleus-stapes-oval window-round window

• tympanum-incus-malleus-stapes-round window-oval window

• tympanum-malleus-incus-stapes-round window-oval window

• tympanum-malleus-incus-stapes-oval window-round window

The auditory ossicles connect the

• tympanic membrane to the oval window.

• tympanic membrane to the round window.

• oval window to the round window.

• stapedius to the tympanic membrane.

The ear is divided into 3 major areas, which include all of the following except:

• outer, (external), ear

• middle ear

• inner ear

• third ear

The external and middle ear are only involved with hearing, while the inner ear is involved with both hearing and maintaining your ____________, (sense of balance).

• touch

• harmony

• equilibrium

• musical memory

• cochlea

• cornea

• ear drum

• snare drum

The bones of the middle ear conduct the vibrations of the ear drum to another membrane called the superior oval window, which then sets the ________ in the inner ear into motion.
