Video transcript

Hello everyone here We have a question that says the obstacles which are part of the middle ear, amplify the sound and send blank to the inner ear, which converts this into electrical impulses. A vibration. Be nerve impulses see sound waves or D. Air pressure after the eardrum vibrates, the vibration is passed to the obstacles. The obstacles which are part of the middle ear, amplify the sound and send sound waves to the inner ear, which converts this into electrical impulses. So our answer here is see sound waves. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question

The transduction of sound waves into action potentials occurs a. in the tectorial membrane as it is stimulated by hair cells. b. when hair cells are bent against the tectorial membrane, causing them to depolarize and release neurotransmitter that stimulates sensory neurons. c. as the basilar membrane vibrates at different frequencies in response to the varying volume of sounds. d. within the middle ear as the vibrations are amplified by the malleus, incus, and stapes.
