Exploring the Human Ear

What is the main function of the eardrum in the human ear?

• To amplify sound

• To transmit sound vibrations to the middle ear

• To produce earwax

• To detect balance

Which part of the ear is responsible for maintaining balance?

• Cochlea

• Ear canal

• Semi-circular canals

• Eardrum

What is the role of the cochlea in the ear?

• To collect sound waves

• To convert sound vibrations into nerve signals

• To protect the inner ear

• To produce earwax

What is the function of the ear canal?

• To balance the body

• To transmit sound to the eardrum

• To produce earwax

• To amplify sound

What is the primary function of the nerves in the ear?

• To produce sound

• To transmit sound signals to the brain

• To balance the body

• To protect the ear

What happens when the eardrum vibrates?

• It produces sound

• It sends vibrations to the ossicles

• It creates earwax

• It balances the body

Which part of the ear is directly connected to the brain?

• Ear canal

• Nerves

• Eardrum

What is the main purpose of the semi-circular canals?

• To hear high-pitched sounds

• To detect movement and balance

• To amplify sound

• To produce earwax

Which part of the ear is responsible for converting sound into electrical signals?

• Eardrum

• Cochlea

• Ear canal

• Semi-circular canals

What is the function of the brain in the hearing process?
