The auditory system is a body system that is responsible for the sense of hearing. The primary auditory cortex lies in the superior temporal gyrus of the temporal lobe and extends into the lateral sulcus and the transverse temporal gyri. Test out what else you know about the system through the questions below.
10-10,000 Hz
20-20,000 Hz
30-30,000 Hz

Rate this question:
The decrease in surface area from the tympanic membrane to oval window
The lever action of the ossicles
The auricle of the ear
The high sensitivity of the hair cells
More than one of the above
Rate this question:
Tymapnic membrane deflecting these frequencies
Contraction reflex of ossicular muscles
Oval window selectively choosing which frequencies can be transmitted
None; that's why hearing loss can occur due to damaging sounds
