Hearing Worksheet

the visible part of the ear along the head, consists of the pinna and the external eardrum which leads to the eardrum.
chamber between eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones, the hammer, anvil, and stirrup, that concentrate vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea’s oval window
innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs
the external part of the ear
passage of the ear leading to the eardrum
the membrane of the middle ear, which vibrates in response to sound waves
hammer shaped bone that connects to the anvil and is attached to the inner surface of the eardrum. Transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the anvil.
bone that passes sound vibrations from the hammer to the stirrup
bone that transmits sound vibration to the oval window
connects the tiny bones of the middle ear to the cochlea
hollow coiled tube that produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations (central organ of the ear)
bundle of nerve fibers that carries hearing information between the cochlea and the brain
