question 13 (1 point)
the ___ collects sound waves and directs them to the auditory canal.
○ eustachian tube
○ malleus
○ incus
○ auricle

Explanation:

Question 12

The cochlear duct is for hearing (contains the organ of Corti), while the vestibular apparatus (semicircular canals, utricle, saccule) maintains balance. So the statement is false.

The auricle (outer ear part) collects sound waves and directs them to the auditory canal. Eustachian tube equalizes pressure, malleus/incus are middle ear bones.

Answer:

False
