Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence in the process of hearing starts with the Tympanic membrane (3) that vibrates in response to sound waves. Next, the Vestibular membrane (2) is part of the cochlea, which plays a role in the separation of cochlear canals. The Basilar membrane (4) then vibrates, and these vibrations are detected by sensory hair cells. Finally, the Tectorial membrane (1) interacts with the hair cells to transduce mechanical vibrations into neural signals.
