Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vibrations of the tympanic membrane are transmitted to the oval window by the three middle ear bones, which are represented by structures 2, 3, and 4 in the diagram. Structure 1 represents the eardrum, which is the tympanic membrane, and structure 5 represents the cochlea, which is the sense organ for auditory perception. Therefore, the best choice is B because it includes the correct structures for transmitting vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea.
