65

Scala vestibuli
Scala media
Scala tympani

Pathway for sound travel

1. sound waves vibrate eardrum
2. Auditory ossicles vibrate and amplify
3. Pressure waves from the stapes push on oval window and move into the fluid in the scala vestibule
4. Sounds in hearing range go through cochlea duct vibrate basilar membrane and deflecting hairs on inner hair cells.
