The ossicular chain consists of which three bones?

• Hammer, anvil, and stirrup

• Ear canal, cochlea, and auditory cortex

• Eardrum, hammer, and cochlea

• Anvil, stirrup, and auditory nerve

What role does the cochlea play in the hearing process?

• It amplifies sound vibrations

• It converts mechanical energy into electrical signals

• It protects the inner ear from damage

• It stores sound information

How do hair cells in the cochlea respond to sound?

• They vibrate and create sound waves

• They convert electrical signals into sound

• They move and create tension differences that produce electrical signals

• They filter out unwanted frequencies

What role does the cochlea play in the hearing process?

• It amplifies sound vibrations
