Given below are sets of five terms each. Rewrite the terms in correct order in a logical sequence. Example: Large intestine, Stomach, Mouth, Small intestine, Oesophagus. Answer: Mouth → Oesophagus → Stomach → Small intestine → Large intestine.
Cochlea, Malleus, Pinna, Stapes, Incus.
Topic: Path of sound through the ear
Answer
Pinna → Malleus → Incus → Stapes → Cochlea
This traces SOUND from outside the ear to the receptor: PINNA collects the sound waves (outer ear)
MALLEUS → INCUS → STAPES, the three ossicles of the middle ear, amplifying the vibrations
COCHLEA of the inner ear, where the organ of Corti converts them into nerve impulses
The ossicles must be in the right order, and their common names help: HAMMER strikes the ANVIL, and the STIRRUP is last, fitting into the OVAL WINDOW.
The full path if more terms are given: pinna → auditory canal → eardrum → malleus → incus → stapes → oval window → cochlea → organ of Corti → auditory nerve → brain.
