Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The organs of hearing and balance can be categorized into three parts:
- External ear: The external ear helps in collecting the sound waves and directing it to the interior.
- The middle ear: The middle ear has the air-filled cavity.
- Inner ear: The inner ear has the sensory organs for hearing and balance.

- Which statement is FALSE? A. The basilar membrane fibers nearer the oval window are long and fluffy B. Sound signals are processed by the resonance of the basilar membrane before reaching the receptors C. Different frequencies of pressure waves in the cochlea cause specific places along the basilar membrane to vibrate, stimulating particular hair cells and sensory neurons. D. None of the choicesarrow_forwardWhich statement is FALSE? A. The membranous labyrinth includes the cochlear duct, utricle, and saccule. B. Endolymph is located inside the cochlear duct. C. The cochlear duct is the scala media. D. The scala tympani and scala vestibuli contain endolymph. E. None of the statements is false.arrow_forwardWhich of the following rows correctly completes the following statement about sound transmission? The vibrating ossicles cause the oval window to vibrate; this produces pressure waves in the cochlea.
