  • With exciting 3-D animation and a dramatic classical sound track, this 7-min. video takes us on a trip through the ear to vividly explain how we hear. Auditory Transduction is definitely best of breed on the topic. Brandon Pletsch has given permission to 3M to post this video on our web site and CZcams.

      Exactly, it's fascinating how everything works so well together, there is so much that most people are ignorant of when it's already happening inside their bodies, it's just a miracle by itself that we as humans exist, God bless

      Agreed. If they found a tin bucket on Mars, no one woud say: This bucket created itself over the last billions of Years. It just needed time. Now imagine a inner ear, creating itself over time. Insanity . Still: This video is very well explained.

      +Chris Davaz just out of curiosity.. when you say Science is the way.. how do you account for the supreme intricacy of something as simple as the human ear.. that is.. are you of those who hold the opinion that such creation is merely chance and not a willful supernatural force i.e. God?

    • @whiteWinter88
      @whiteWinter88 Před 8 lety

      +Omar Ibrahim I think you are presenting a false dichotomy. The intricate "design" is the result of the laws of nature. I don't believe in the "supernatural", either something is real, and hence part of nature, or it is not. Whatever people don't understand they have historically attributed to "supernatural" forces (i.e., "God", "spirits", etc).

    • @omaribrahim4304
      @omaribrahim4304 Před 8 lety

      +Chris Davaz riposte! not sure what you mean by false dichotomy but I think I agree with everything you said, even though I believe in God.. I'm not actually sure what "supernatural" means either.. because to me god is still real and "natural" in some senses.. in any case, to me God is always the singular source of "the laws of nature" but I think there are certain cases where these "laws", as some people believe them, are equivalent to what I believe is God.. in other words, "the laws" as some people (maybe yourself) think of them are supernatural or eternal and our differences in belief become only semantic.. in another sense, we can say the laws of nature allow for many things, such as this paragraph I've written or the capacity for humans to build motor vehicles and global communications.. such things though, however intricate and complex they may be, are still ultimately insignificant when compared to the design and creation of something like the inner ear, or even the basic biology of a fly...

    THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST VIDEO. like the small details on why round window and what goes on and how the membrane acts w low pitch high pitch is something which they do not explain in textbooks and are just written like the apical portion senses low pitch and base senses high pitch. but never explained. and ROTE LEARNING IS JUST THE WORST. once you see how and why and what. its engraved, no matter what, the conceptual clarity you get from just watching a 6 min video, it can never be removed. like how we forget whats taught in lectures and books. stuff like animations and pictures is something i personally cant. I LOVED THE WAY YOU SOLVED TEENSY DOUBTS LIKE WHY THE ROUND WINDOW and the cross section of cochlea. they just paste the picture of blah blah and write thats its ts or lateral without ever explaining it. and it angers me so so so much. tysm for the video

    Auditory Transduction Notes:
    Outer Ear:
    - Sound waves enter the ear and travel through the external auditory canal.
    - Sound waves meet the tympanic membrane (eardrum) inside the ear.
    - The tympanic membrane vibrates in response to sound, with pitch affecting the vibration rate and amplitude affecting the intensity of vibration.
    Middle Ear:
    - Three auditory ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) articulate with the tympanic membrane.
    - These ossicles transmit frequency and amplitude information to the inner ear.
    - The ossicles pivot together on an axis, held in place by ligaments (anterior malleoligament and posterior incudal ligament).
    - Vibrations from the ossicles are transferred to the footplate of the stapes.
    - The stapes moves like a piston, transmitting vibrations into the bony labyrinth.
    Round Window and Cochlea:
    - The bony labyrinth is filled with paralymph, and its flexibility allows vibrations to enter through the round window.
    - The cochlea, a spiral portion of the bony labyrinth, contains the corridor leading to the round window.
    - Vibrations return through the cochlea's spiral system to meet the round window.
    - The ascending passage for vibrations is called the scalar vestibuli, and the descending passage is called the scalar tympani.
    - Between them lies the cochlear duct, filled with endolymph and separated by Reissner's and Basler membranes.
    Inner Ear (Cochlea):
    - These membranes (Reissner's and Basler) are flexible and transmit vibrations back down to the scalar tympani.
    - The organ of Corti is situated on the basilar membrane.
    - The basilar membrane vibrates selectively, with lower frequencies vibrating closer to the apex and higher frequencies closer to the base of the cochlea, following tonotopic organization.
    - The organ of Corti sends nerve impulses to the brain via the cochlear nerve.
    - Specialized hair cells within the organ of Corti generate nerve impulses.
    - Hair cells are covered by the tectoral membrane, and bending of hairs against it triggers the cells to fire.
    Auditory Perception:
    - The entire sequence of events, from sound waves entering the ear to the generation of nerve impulses in the organ of Corti, is responsible for our acoustic perception of the world.
    Hope this helps!!!

    As the narrator indicates the tympanic muscle was removed to allow better visualization of the remaining structures in the middle ear. The tympanic muscle is thought to tighten the ossicular chain to limit the sound transmission to the inner ear. The purpose of this is protection. The muscle appears to act against impulsive sounds and also potentially to reduce the influence of our hearing of our own voice when we speak.
