8. HOW DO YOU REALLY HEAR?
When someone speaks to you, the air vibrates. The sounds waves
reach your ear and are picked up by the outer ear. The sound waves
are then passed on through the ear canal, strike the eardrum and
causes it to vibrate. The hammer begins to vibrate, then the anvil and
finally the stirrup. The vibration are passed on to the fluid within the
cochlea. Vibrations in the cochlea stimulate the nerve endings located
there. The nerves takes the impulses to the brain by means of the
auditory nerve. The brain interprets the impulses and you CAN
HEAR.

different odors. The
nerves in the nose
are stimulated by
different smells,
and impulses are
set up. These
impulses are
carried to he brain.
15. Your eyes also
plays an
important part in
recognizing what
you eat, and your
memory helps
you to know what
it should taste
like.
