I described it before... let other think first...Originally posted by hisoka:how i know the FFF response arh?
oh u wanted the answer to the funny bone rite? did any research? -

You've just described the sound transmission of the ear... nope... worth the effort, but not what I'm looking for...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Found out about how the ears work, but cannot link back to your question.
Sound waves are first collected in our outer ear (called the auricle or pinna), pass through our ear canal and cause our eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are in turn transmitted to our inner ear by the bones of our middle ear. Our inner ear plays a vital role in the transformation of these mechanical vibrations into electrical impulses, or signals, which can be recognized and decoded by our brain. When the vibrations reach the cochlea through movement of the bones in the middle ear, the fluid within it begins to move, resulting in back and forth motion of tiny hairs (sensory receptors) lining the cochlea. This motion results in the hair cells sending a signal along the auditory nerve to the brain. Our brain receives these impulses in its hearing centers and interprets them as a type of sound.
Not quite sure, but I think is this:
Due to the difference in pressure, it causes changes in the fluid within the middle ear. The changes in fluid probably cause the giddiness in us.

First part wrong, second part correct? My physics fail one, so don't know. Just know something like that.Originally posted by alfagal:first part is wrong, but e second part correct... -
Precisely... the inner ear controls not only the transmission of sound to the auditory nerve, but also aids in transmission of information with regards to equilibrium from the visual, hearing and joints nerve information. This get transmitted to the vestibular nerve.Originally posted by hisoka:inner ear is associated with balancing isit io heard somewhere b4
the funny bone is not the bone got nerves arh?
The 8th cranial nerve is known as vestibulococchlear nerve which serves to tell u that this nerve coming out from the ear carries both information of hearing and equilibrium. The cocchlea and the three semicircular canals help to maintain balance vertically and horizontally, explaining why we don't feel dizzy normally when we are travelling up and down in a lift or turning our head right and left.
Certain hearing loss may be associated with such problem as an infection for example, or a trauma may involve damage to the inner ear or an inflammation known medically as labyrinthitis... -

Anyone wanna try this?Originally posted by renorenal:NEW MYSTERY
As we age, passing of urine becomes tougher and slower, do you know why? -
i tried le but i think you said wrong wor..Originally posted by renorenal:Anyone wanna try this?
nvm try again isit cos the passage tiok blocked? -
Correct! But blocked by what?Originally posted by hisoka:i tried le but i think you said wrong wor..
nvm try again isit cos the passage tiok blocked? -
Chim. The website I just read very basic.Originally posted by heavenscloud:vestibular apparatus? -
erm sedimentation from the urine bah like galstone arh?Originally posted by renorenal:Correct! But blocked by what? -
Never fail to try... besides... it's a mystery...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:First part wrong, second part correct? My physics fail one, so don't know. Just know something like that. -
No... don't think too far...Originally posted by hisoka:erm sedimentation from the urine bah like galstone arh? -
The one you read tells you about the mechanism of hearing and sound transmission from the outer ear to the inner ear only... it fails to tell you the other function of the ear which is maintaining balance and equilibrium... It works very neatly with the cerebellum in the brain...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Chim. The website I just read very basic. -
I have always think that funny bone is not a bone, but some nerves.Originally posted by renorenal:Thir CLUE: Ulnar Nerve Location
The funny bone, actually, is not a bone at all. When you hit your funny bone, you are hitting a nerve (the ulnar nerve) that runs behind your elbow. The ulnar nerve is just under the skin behind the elbow, and when you hit it...pain and tingling shoot down your forearm and hand, and into your ring and pinky fingers.
This one don't know correct or not. -
