Where is the tympanic membrane located?

A) in the inner ear
B) in the middle ear
C) in the ossicles
D) in the cochlea

The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is located in the middle ear. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear and transmits sound vibrations to the three small bones in the middle ear, known as the ossicles. The inner ear, on the other hand, contains the cochlea, which is responsible for translating sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret.
