ossicular chain of the middle
ear?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The ears are responsible for collecting the data from the surrounding and translating it to brain in an understandable form. The process of hearing begins with the sound waves. The sound waves are the vibrations that are carried by the air.

Step 2

The tympanic membrane is a thin, cone-shaped membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear. The tympanic membrane is located at the medial end of the external auditory meatus. Sound waves in the air are passed through the membrane to the ossicles present in middle ear. These ossicles transmit the inner ear where it is converted into vibrations in fluid.
