Pass through external auditory canal
Cause eardrum to vibrate
Ear bones transmit, amplify vibrations through middle ear
Vibrations pass though oval to fluid in vestibular canal
Pressure waves press on membranes separating 2 ducts of cochlea
Bulging round window serves as escape valve for pressure
Pressure cause movement of basilar membrane
Movement stimulates hair cells of organ of Corti by rubbing against overlying tectorial membrane
Neural impulses initiated in dendrites of neurons at base of each hair cell
Impulses transmitted by cochlear nerve to the brain |
