Which of the following correctly lists the structures through which sound travels after being converted into neural signals?
a. auditory nerve, auditory cortex, thalamus
b. auditory cortex, thalamus, auditory nerve
c. auditory nerve, thalamus, auditory cortex
d. auditory membrane, auditory cortex, thalamus select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

The path that sound wave travels into the ear starts from the auditory cortex causing the eardrum to vibrate. Then into the thalamus where the sound wave is transformed into a pressure wave that causes the hairs in it to bend at a specified frequency. The last stop is at the auditory nerve which sends signal through the brain. The answer is letter B.

Correct answer choice is :

B) Auditory cortex, thalamus, auditory nerve

Explanation:

A neuron, also recognized as a neuron and nerve cell, is an electrically sensitive cell that collects, processes, and sends information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals within neurons happen via concentrated connections termed synapses. A neural signal is another way of describing the electrochemical information that neurons send to each other.

c. magnitude and direction
