Path of sound waves
1) The external ear captures sound waves
2) the tympanic membranes move the malleus, the incus, and the stapes
3) The inner ear moves the sound down
4) The vibration is transmitted by the cochlea
5) Tiny hairs detect the pitch
6) The sound travels to the brain through the auditory cortex
