Final answer:

The correct order of sound transmission from the external environment to the brain involves the pinna, external auditory meatus, tympanic membrane, ossicles, and cochlea.


Explanation:

The correct sequence of sound transmission from the external environment to the nerves that carry the signal to the brain involves the following structures:

  1. Pinna (auricle)
  2. External auditory meatus (ear canal)
  3. Tympanic membrane (eardrum)
  4. Ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes)
  5. Cochlea

Sound waves pass through these components, vibrating the tympanic membrane, bones of the middle ear, and reaching the cochlea where they are detected by hair cells and sent to the auditory nerve for interpretation by the brain.
