Answer
a → Pinna → Eardrum → Hammer → Ossicles → Oval window → Cochlea, b → Auditory nerve
Reason — Sound waves enter the ear through the pinna (the visible part of the ear) and travel through the ear canal (auditory canal). It strikes the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted to three tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes), which amplify the sound. Vibrations pass through the oval window into the fluid-filled cochlea in the inner ear. The movement of fluid in the cochlea stimulates tiny hair cells, which convert the vibrations into electrical signals. These electrical signals are transmitted via the auditory nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.
