Question
The function of structure 4, the round window, is to _________.

transmit sound from the ear ossicles of the middle ear to the hair cells of the inner ear
amplify the sound wave as it is transmitted from the typanic membrane to the ear ossicles
prevent fluid in the middle ear from entering the inner ear while allowing sound transmission
