Question

Put the events of sound wave movement through the ear and nervous pathways in order:

A pressure wave in the endolymph of the cochlear duct displaces a specific region of the basilar membrane.

The vestibular membrane begins to vibrate.

Hair cells in the spiral organ are distorted.

Pressure waves are generated within the oval window and travel through the scala vestibuli.

The cochlear branch of CN VIII is stimulated.

Sound waves make the tympanic membrane vibrate.

Sound waves are amplified due to movement by the auditory ossicles.
