Question

What is the function of tympanum?

Answer 1

Tympanum:

1. The tympanum is a thin cone-shaped membrane located in the middle ear just after the auditory canal.
2. It separates the middle ear from the external ear.
3. It transmits the sound to ossicles from the air.
4. Further, the sound waves travel through the oval window in the fluid-filled cochlea.
5. Then the sound gets converted to amplitude.
