OpenStax AnatPhys fig.14.6 - Sound Waves and the Ear - English labels

nid: 58688
Additional formats:
None available
Description:
Transmission of Sound Waves to Cochlea. A sound wave causes the tympanic membrane to vibrate. This vibration is amplified as it moves across the malleus, incus, and stapes. The amplified vibration is picked up by the oval window causing pressure waves in the fluid of the scala vestibuli and scala tympani. The complexity of the pressure waves is determined by the changes in amplitude and frequency of the sound waves entering the ear. English labels. From OpenStax book 'Anatomy and Physiology', fig. 14.6.
