Question

1. which of the following is a function of the external and middle ear? transmitting sound waves to the brain maintaining balance and equilibrium receiving sound waves conducting sound waves through the ear

Explanation:

The external ear collects sound waves, and the middle ear amplifies and conducts these waves to the inner ear. Transmitting to the brain is the inner ear/auditory nerve's role; balance is the inner ear's vestibular system; receiving alone is only the external ear's initial step. Conducting sound waves through the ear covers both external (collecting/channeling) and middle (amplifying/transmitting to inner ear) functions.

Answer:

Conducting sound waves through the ear
