Anatomy - Hearing (Part 1) - The Pathway of Sound up to the Oval Window

The video explores the physiology of hearing, focusing on how sound waves are detected by the brain. It explains the nature of sound waves as pressure gradients moving through various mediums and follows their path through the ear. The video details the role of the tympanic membrane and auditory ossicles in amplifying sound vibrations, leading to the cochlea where further processing occurs. The video concludes with a preview of the next video, which will cover the physiology of the cochlea in more detail.
