Sequence the steps in how your sense of hearing works, by writing
the numbers 1 to 5 in the squares to the left of the steps.

The hairs produce electric impulses that travel
to the cerebrum, where they are interpreted as
sound.

The stapes causes the membrane of the oval
window to move back and forth.

Sound waves enter your ear and travel down to
the end of the ear canal.

Sound waves strike the eardrum and cause it to
vibrate. The vibrations pass to the bones in the
middle ear.

Fluid in the cochlea moves, causing the hair cells
to bend.

Identify three stimuli to which receptors in the dermis of the skin
respond.
