  • 2. 

    The cell sensitive to sound waves are?

    • Retina

    • Malleus

    • Cochlea

    • Ampulla

    • Eustachian tube

    Correct Answer
    A. Cochlea
    Explanation
    The cochlea is the correct answer because it is the part of the inner ear that is responsible for converting sound waves into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. The cochlea contains tiny hair cells that vibrate in response to different frequencies of sound, and these vibrations are then transmitted to the brain through the auditory nerve. The other options listed are not directly involved in the process of detecting sound waves.

      what is number 6

    • Hammer

    • Conjunctiva

    • Oval window

    • Cochlea

    • Iris

    Correct Answer
    A. Cochlea
    Explanation
    The cochlea is a part of the inner ear that plays a crucial role in hearing. It is responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. The other options listed, such as hammer, conjunctiva, oval window, and iris, are not related to the process of hearing.

    What are the three tinny bone

    • Malleus,stapes,incus

    • Hammer,stirrup,anvil

    • Muscle,tendons,ligament

    • Taste buds, olfactory cells, eardrum

    • Lever,pulley,gears

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Malleus,stapes,incus
    A. Hammer,stirrup,anvil
    Explanation
    The correct answer is malleus, stapes, incus, hammer, stirrup, anvil. These terms refer to the three tiny bones in the middle ear, also known as the ossicles. The malleus, or hammer, is attached to the eardrum and transmits sound vibrations to the incus, or anvil. The incus then passes the vibrations to the stapes, or stirrup, which connects to the oval window of the inner ear. Together, these three bones amplify and transmit sound waves from the outer ear to the inner ear.

    what is number 5

    • Pinna

    • Oval window

    • Stapes

    • Eardrum

    • Auditory nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Auditory nerve
    Explanation
    The given options are all parts of the ear. The auditory nerve is responsible for transmitting sound signals from the inner ear to the brain, allowing us to perceive and interpret sound. It is a crucial component of the auditory system and plays a vital role in our ability to hear.

       what is number 8 - ProProfs

       what is number 8

    • Incus

    • Round window

    • Eardrum

    • Endolymph

    • Perilymph

    Correct Answer
    A. Round window
    Explanation
    The round window is a structure located in the inner ear. It is a membrane-covered opening that allows for the release of pressure waves generated by sound vibrations in the cochlea. This helps to maintain the balance of fluid pressure within the inner ear, allowing for proper hearing function.
