- Sound waves enter the ear and they travel through the external auditory canal.
-The waves strike the eardrum, the central part of the eardrum is conected to a small bone called malleus, the malleus vibrates and transmits the sounds to the other two bones:
- The incus and stapes.Stapes moves and pushes to the oval window
-The sound passes to the cochlea wich is a structure in the shape of a snail.
- Inside of the cochlea there is the spiral organ of corti.
This organ has hair cells. Sensory nerves take the sounds vibrations and carry them to the brain.
