Question

What is the tympanum of the ear?

Answer 1

Tympanum:

1. Mammals have an organ called the ear, which is used for hearing and balance.
2. It typically has three components: the inner ear, middle ear, and outer ear.
3. The tympanum's job is to carry sound from the air to the ossicles.
4. A second name for the tympanic membrane is the eardrum.
5. It divides the middle ear from the outer ear.
6. The tympanic membrane vibrates as sound waves enter it.
7. The middle ear's minuscule bones are thus exposed to vibrations.
8. The sound waves leave the ossicles and enter the cochlea through its oval window, which is filled with fluid.
