How does the tympanic membrane work?

2 answers:

The eardrum (or tympanic membrane) works by taking in vibrations in the air, which causes the membrane itself to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through the three bones of the middle ear to the cochlea in the inner ear, which causes ripples in the fluids inside the cochlea which are registered as 'sounds'.
Hope that helped! =)

Tympanic membrane receives sound vibrations from the outer air and transmits them to the auditory ossicles, which are tiny bones in the tympanic cavity, or the middle ear cavity.

Predict which responses would occur in cells exposed to the a+b signaling molecules

lukranit [14]

Cell responses b and c would both occur when cell exposed to the a+b signaling molecules. The presence of the C signaling molecule will lead to cell response c. Cell response b occurs because the activation of c2 in the C pathway stimulates b1, leading to cell response b. Cell response A remains inactivated because it is inhibited by pathway b activation and its signaling molecule was not present.
