Question

current attempt in progress
which of the following correctly states the order in which auditory processing occurs?
cochlea, ossicles, auditory nerve, tympanic membrane, inner ear
tympanic membrane, ossicles, oval window, cochlea, auditory nerve
ossicles, basilar membrane, oval window, cochlea, auditory nerve
basilar membrane, oval window, tympanic membrane, cochlea, auditory nerve

Explanation:

Sound waves first vibrate the tympanic membrane. Then the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) amplify and transmit the vibrations to the oval window. The vibrations then move to the cochlea where hair - cells are stimulated. Finally, the auditory nerve transmits the neural signals to the brain for processing.

Answer:

tympanic membrane, ossicles, oval window, cochlea, auditory nerve
