Question

True or False. Sound first enters the ear, then passes through the eardrum into the ear, and then passes to the ear where the sound vibrations are transformed into neural messages.

Answer 1

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

Sound waves enter the OUTER EAR and travel through a narrow way up to the eardrum, where it vibrates.

The vibrations are sent to the bones of the MIDDLE EAR where they are amplified, and passed to a structure called COCHLEA in the INNER EAR.

Finally, it reaches the sensory cells that passes it to the auditory nerve that transmit the sound to the brain as electrical signals (neural messages) for proper interpretation.

So, it is True because from OUTER EAR to MIDDLE EAR, to INNER EAR.
