Question

which statement accurately describes the tympanic membrane? a semitransparent membrane at end of the external acoustic meatus a thin membrane upon which the stapes rests a membrane that divides the cochlea into several channels the base of the structure that houses the receptors for hearing

Explanation:

The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is located at the end of the external acoustic meatus and is semitransparent. It vibrates in response to sound waves. The stapes rests on the oval - window, not the tympanic membrane. The cochlear partition is not related to the tympanic membrane, and the base of the structure housing hearing receptors is not the tympanic membrane.

Answer:

A. A semitransparent membrane at end of the external acoustic meatus
