Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is a thin layer of tissue that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It vibrates in response to sound waves and transmits these vibrations to the three small bones in the middle ear (ossicles), which in turn transmit them to the inner ear. The receptor cells for hearing are located in the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear.
