What happens in the tympanic membrane
?
Sound waves are converted to vibrations.
Sound waves make the tiny hairs in your ear move
Carries the message to the brain
What does the fluid inside your ears do when displaced?
Vibrates the skin in your ear
Sends sound waves to the brain
Displaces the hair cells.
Stimulates the hair cells to send an impulse
What is in the Semi-Circular canals?
Cilia (Tiny Hairs)
Liquid
Thin Skin
Where is the tympanic membrane located?
The Outer ear
The Inner Ear
The Middle Ear
Where is the Eustachian Tube connected to?
The back of the head
The back of the nose
The back of the Ear
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 of the following is NOT in the MIDDLE EAR?
Auricle
Eustachian tube
Malleus
Tympanic Membrane
The impulse is generated and is transmitted to the temporal lobe when what happens?
the eardrum vibrates
the basilar membrane vibrates
the oval window vibrates
the hair cells are bent
When sound waves vibrate the tympanic membrane what structure of the ear is moved next:
the vestibule
the cochlea
the semicircular canals
the malleus
The malleus, incus, and stapes are collectively called the
maculae
vestibulocochlear nerves
semicircular canals
auditory ossicles
Which of the below structures acts to convert sound waves to vibrations?
cochlea
pinna
tympanic membrane
vestibulocochlear nerve
When you spin while sitting in a swivel chair with your eyes closed, you can sense this movement by
means of your
cochlea
saccule
semicircular ducts
utricle

Anvil (Incus)
Stirrup (Stapes)
Ossicles
Area #2 is called the
Anvil (Incus)
Ossicles
Stapes (Stirrup)
Malleus (Hammer)
Area #3 is called the -
Malleus (Hammer)
Ossicles
Anvil (Incus)

Area #4 The footplate of this bone is attached to an area of the inner ear called the Oval window. This connects the part that divides the middle from inner ear. It is called the-
Incus (Anvil)
Hammer (Malleus)
Estachian tube
Stapes (Stirrup)
This structure equalizes air pressure on either side of the tympanic membrane, and houses the ossicles (#5)
cochlea
vestibule
Eustachian tube
semicircular canal
Area #2 The large loops in the inner ear. Their function is to help you maintain your body’s balance. They have tiny hairs inside which can send impulses to your brain about your body’s position. They are called what? (there are 3 of them)
Perilymph
Semicircular canals
Vestibules
Cochleas
Area #3 A large nerve coming off of the vestibule is called the
cohlear nerve
vestibular nerve
vestibule
cochlea
Area #4 A large nerve coming off of the cochlea is called the
cochlear nerve
vestibular nerce
vestibule
cochlea
Area #5 A snail-shaped structure in the inner ear that enables one to hear. It is called the -
cochlea
vestibule
semicircular canals
oval window
Area #6 is called the
Cochlea
Oval window
Tympanic membrane
Organ of corti
Area #7 The opening to the inner ear. Sensory sounds enter through the oval window from the middle ear. The word itself means an opening to a entrance hall. It is called the
cochlea
oval window
semi-circular canal
vestibule
