Cochlea to structures in the brainstem for further processing. The "stapes" (stirrup) ossicle bone of the middle ear transmits vibrations to the "fenestra ovalis" (oval window) on the outside of the cochlea, which vibrates the perilymph in the "vestibular duct" (upper chamber of the cochlea). The ossicles are essential for efficient coupling of sound waves into the cochlea, since the cochlea environment is a fluid–membrane system, and it takes more pressure to move sound through fluid–membrane waves than it does through air; a pressure increase is achieved by the area ratio of the tympanic membrane to the oval window, resulting in
Where the Dream Takes You the film's end credits in order to adhere to tradition. Disney hired Mýa to record a pop song for the "Atlantis" soundtrack because of the studio and singer's shared business relationship with A&M/Interscope Records. A downtempo pop and R&B ballad, "Where the Dream Takes You" is an inspirational song about following one's heart and self-discovery, alluding to the film's central plot about a young adventurer searching for the lost city of Atlantis.
