Chapter 16.4, Problem 18BYGO
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Hearing is a sound response that comes from the vibration of air molecules, while the equilibrium comes from the movement, orientation, and balance of the body. These two senses come from the inner ear containing the sensory cells. The ear is a hearing organ that enables the movement and body equilibrium with the help of the sensory nerve cells. It consists of three layers namely outer, middle, and inner layers.
