Ear Anatomy and Physiology Quiz

What is the primary focus of the podcast introduced by Miss Clemmy?

• The evolution of the human brain

• The structure of the human skeleton

• The anatomy and physiology of the ear

• The history of mammalian evolution

Which part of the ear is responsible for corralling sound waves?

• Inner ear

• Middle ear

• Eustachian tubes

• Outer ear

What is the function of the tympanic membrane in the outer ear?

• To convert sound waves into electrical impulses

• To vibrate in response to sound waves

• To maintain balance

• To equalize pressure

Which bones are found in the middle ear?

• Ulna, radius, and humerus

• Femur, tibia, and fibula

• Malleus, incus, and stapes

• Scapula, clavicle, and sternum

What is the role of the eustachian tubes in the middle ear?

• To maintain balance

• To equalize pressure on the tympanic membrane

• To convert sound waves into electrical impulses

• To conduct sound vibrations

What structure in the inner ear resembles a snail shell?

• Tympanic membrane

• Cochlea

• Semicircular canals

• Auricle

How does the cochlea contribute to hearing?

• By equalizing pressure

• By maintaining balance

• By amplifying sound waves

• By converting sound waves into electrical impulses

What is the final destination of the auditory nerve signals in the brain?

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Frontal lobe

Which part of the ear is primarily responsible for balance?
