In order for sound to be "heard" it must first vibrate the small bones in the inner ear against the oval window.  This converts sound waves from the air into fluid waves which propagate the movement of fluid through the bony structure called the ___________________.   The wave pushes on the basilar membrane where it deflects the __________________ that extend from both inner and outer hair cells.  This deflection tugs on tip links which are connected to _____________________ channels which convert the fluid wave

My question is     In order for sound to be "heard" it must first vibrate the small bones in the inner ear against the oval window.  This converts sound waves from the air into fluid waves which propagate the movement of fluid through the bony structure called the ___________________.   The wave pushes on the basilar membrane where it deflects the __________________ that extend from both inner and outer hair cells.  This deflection tugs on tip links which are connected to _____________________ channels which convert the fluid wave into an electrical signal.
