Students have asked these similar questions
(a) choose one part of the auditory conductive mechanism--the outer ear or middle ear--and describe how sound is transduced (changed from acoustic energy to mechanical energy) through that part of the auditory system, and
(b) comment on how the anatomy of that part of the ear enables normal auditory conductive physiology.
(a) What is the difference, if any, between a semicircular canal and semicircular duct? Between the cochlea and cochlear duct? (b) Name the three parts of the membranous labyrinth of the internal ear. Which of these parts is for hearing, and which are for balance?
(b)
Hearing works when a process is going to the nervous system and brain. Relate the
hearing system with the nervous system.
