Title: HIS 120 Essay
Course: 15SP-HIS-120-W02-A & P OF AUDITORY AND SPEECH > Section: Dropbox

Write an essay explaining the path that sounds takes when it travels from outside the ear up to the brain.  I expect this to be a comprehensive essay (250 word minimum) that details the entire auditory pathway, including everything from the pinna, to the organ or corti, to the auditory cortex...and all of the stops in between.  You should also discuss the important processes that occur at the important landmarks/structures (hint: what is the purpose of the middle ear bones? the organ of corti?).  Cite references where necessary.  I would suggest that you start with an outline of the auditory pathway and then begin writing, filling in the details along the way.

Your essay is worth 20 points and is due by Wednesday, May 6th at 11:59pm.
