Step 1 |
Sound wave causes eardrum to vibrate |
|
|
Step 2 |
Vibration of the eardrum causes the ossicles in the middle ear to vibrate |
|
|
Step 3 |
This causes the oval window to vibrate, creating a wave to move through the fluid in the cochlea |
|
|
Step 4 |
The wave moves through the basilar membrane as well |
|
|
Step 5 |
Hair cells on top of the basilar membrane move up and down, causing the “hairs” (cilia) to bend |
|
|
Step 6 |
Bending of the hair cells releases neurotransmitter, which stimulates the auditory nerve |
