Q

Vibrations travel through the tympanic membrane and cause the 3 tiny bones to rattle. This movement is then sensed by the __ and turned into information about what we hear.
A. malleus
B. outer ear
C. cochlea
D. styloid process

A

C. Cochlea
and processed by temporal lobe aka auditory cortex…

that’s why our 3 middle ear bones and tympanic membrane are in temporal bone
