Vedclass · Answer

(D) The process of hearing involves the following sequence:$1$. Sound waves enter the $External 	ext{ } ear$ (pinna).$2$. They pass through the $Auditory 	ext{ } canal$.$3$. They strike the $Tympanic 	ext{ } membrane$ (eardrum), causing it to vibrate.$4$. Vibrations are transmitted to the $Bones 	ext{ } of 	ext{ } middle 	ext{ } ear$ (malleus, incus, stapes).$5$. These vibrations reach the $Cochlea$ via the oval window.$6$. Inside the cochlea, the fluid movement stimulates the $Tectorial 	ext{ } membrane$ and hair cells.$7$. Nerve impulses are generated and transmitted via $Auditory 	ext{ } nerves$ to the $Cortex 	ext{ } of 	ext{ } brain$ for processing.
