This is a list of some of the steps in the process of hearing a sound. Put them in cause-and-effect order from first to last. a. K+ channels in the hair cell membranes open
b. The incus (ear bone) vibrates
c. The hair cell releases neurotransmitter
d. Pressure waves pass through the air in the ear canal
e. Afferent neurons transmit action potentials through the cochlear nerve
f. The hair cell membrane is depolarized
g. Pressure waves travel through the fluid in the cochlea
h. The tympanic membrane vibrates
i. Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open
j. The stapes (ear bone) vibrates
k. Stereocilia in hair cells deflect (bend)
l. The malleus (ear bone) vibrates
m. The oval window vibrates
