Vedclass · Answer

(D) The process of hearing begins when sound waves enter the external auditory meatus and cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate.These vibrations are transmitted through the ear ossicles (malleus,incus,and stapes) to the oval window.This movement creates waves in the fluids of the cochlea,specifically the perilymph and endolymph.These fluid waves cause the basilar membrane to vibrate,which in turn causes the hair cells of the organ of Corti to bend against the tectorial membrane.This bending of the hair cells generates nerve impulses,which are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve,resulting in the sensation of hearing.
