ear with labels colorful.png
a. amplify the motion created by sound waves hitting the tympanic membrane (ear drum) and conveying that to the labyrinth's little oval window, causing fluid to slosh inside the cochlea
B . move when the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, creating pressure waves in the middle ear that feed down into the pharynx and combine with sound wave information from our jaws
C. When the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, their mechanoreceptors are activated to send neural impulses to the brain about the sound wave intensities (loudness)
D. they equalize the pressure inside the ear to protect the delicate sensory cells inside the inner ear
