Expert Solution
Step 1

Special senses are senses that have a devoted organ for each of them. Special senses include vision, hearing and balance, smell and taste. Hearing is the ability to perceive sound. The ear is an engineering marvel that transmits the sensory vibrations from the receptors into electric signals. The ear is divided into three regions, the external ear which collects the sound waves, the middle ear which conveys sound vibrations to the oval window, and the inner ear that houses receptors for hearing and equilibrium.
