A, C, B
When sound waves cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate, these vibrations are immediately passed on to the_________.
outer ear and ear canal
inner ear
tiny hairs
three small bones in the middle ear
Which part of the ear acts as the sound collector?
auricle (pinna)
stapes
round window
Pharyngotympanic (auditory) tube
What is #13?
tympanic membrane
incus
malleus
cochlea
What is #19?
Semicircular Canals
Pharyngotympanic (auditory) tube
Vestibulocochlear nerve
Cochlea
What is #2?
External acoustic meatus
Pinna

Vestibule
Identify the order in which sound travels through the ear
auditory ossicles, tympanic membrane, external acoustic meatus
external acoustic meatus, auditory ossicles, tympanic membrane
external acoustic meatus, tympanic membrane, auditory ossicles
tympanic membrane, external acoustic meatus, auditory ossicles
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
The pinna, the outer part of the ear we can see, catches sound waves and funnels them into the external acoustic meatus (auditory canal). The sound waves travel down the meatus and then collide with the tympanic membrane, commonly known as the _________.
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.
fluid
air
The hearing part of the inner ear is the ___________, (is named this because of its spiral shape, resembling a snail shell.)
tympanic membane
cochlea
pinna
auditory canal
The vestibular apparatus (semicircular canals and vestibule) is that part of the inner ear that helps you maintain your ___________.
circadian rhythm
sense of humor
balance (equilibrium)
vision
The vestibular apparatus also uses a combination of fluid and sensory hair cells to help maintain balance. The movement of the fluid is controlled by _______________.
sound waves
the movement of your head
There are 3 semicircular canals in the vestibular apparatus, and each canal sits in one of the three planes of the body--sagittal, transverse, and frontal. Based on how the fluid moves within these canals and which hair cells are triggered, the brain can detect the direction your __________ is moving as well as how quickly its moving.
arm
leg
head
heart
The malleus, incus, and stapes are collectively called the
maculae
vestibulocochlear nerves
semicircular canals
auditory ossicles
