kuulojärjestelmälle
kuulojärjestelmälle refers to the auditory system in Finnish. The auditory system is the sensory system responsible for hearing, and it is composed of the ear and the brain's auditory processing centers. The ear itself is divided into three main parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The outer ear collects sound waves and funnels them into the ear canal, leading to the eardrum. Vibrations of the eardrum are then transmitted through the ossicles of the middle ear to the cochlea in the inner ear. Within the cochlea, these vibrations are converted into electrical signals by hair cells. These signals are then sent via the auditory nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound. The auditory system allows for the perception of a wide range of sounds, including variations in pitch, loudness, and timbre, and plays a crucial role in communication, spatial awareness, and our interaction with the environment. Damage or dysfunction within any part of this complex system can lead to hearing loss or other auditory disorders.
