Sound waves are converted into mechanical vibrations in the middle ear. These vibrations are eventually transduce
into neural impulses when
(A) the hair cells on the basilar membrane are bent against the tectorial membrane in the cochlea
(B) the hair cells in the auditory canal are bent against the eardrum in the middle ear
(C) the oval window causes the hammer, anvil, and stirrup to move
(D) neurons in the auditory cortex fire an action potential
(E)
the semicircular canals stimulate the vestibular sense

Final answer:

Sound waves are converted into neural impulses by the auditory system through a process involving the middle and inner ear structures.


Explanation:

Sound waves are transduced into neural impulses through a complex process involving the middle and inner ear structures. The vibrations from the tympanum are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the oval window of the cochlea, where the energy moves the basilar membrane. This movement bends the hair cells, stimulating them to send neural signals to the brain via the auditory nerve.
