6 steps of reception of transduction of sound energy

6

Info about the reigon and intensity of stimation is relayed to the CNS over the cochlear branch of cranial nerve VIII

3

Movement of the stapes at the oval window establishes pressure waves in the perilymph of yhe scala vestibuli

2

Movement of yhe tympanic membrane causes displacement of the auditory ossicles

4

Pressure waves distort the basilar membrane on their way to the round window of the scala tympani

1

Sound waves arrive at tympanic membrane

5

Vibration of the basilar membrane causes vibration of the hair cells againsg yhe tectorial membrane
