When sound Waves are apporaching------Pinna directs it into the External Audtiory canal------Sound wave reaches Tympanic Membrane----Vibration of Tympanic membrane-----Since malleus (1st ear ossicle is attached to Tympanic Membrane) this causes displacement of Malleus--------Movement of the malleus causes movement of the incus and stapes ------Since footplate of stapes is attached to Oval window---hence movement of Oval window Occur-----Movement of the oval window establishes pressure waves in the perilymph of the vestibular duct----------This pressure wave moves from Oval window to Round window----During this, The pressure wave distorts the basilar membrane on its way to the round window.-----Vibration of Basilar membrane-----Vibration of Hair cells present in the Basilar membrane against the tectorial Membrane----Displacement of the stereocilia stimulates sensory neurons of the cochlear branch of vestibulocochlear nerve.------Information Reaches auditory cortex in the superior temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe-----Hearing
Basilar membrane is the membrane that separates 2 liquid-filled tubes which run along the coil of the cochlea, the scala media and the scala tympani.
Tectorail membrane is an acellular membrane that cover mechanically-sensitive hairs of the sensory receptor cells .
