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
The Body in the Library earlier, Anne Meredith knows Ariadne Oliver as the writer of a book called "The Body in the Library". In the first episode of the second series ("And the Moonbeams Kiss the Sea") of the television series "Lewis," the body of a handyman is found in the Bodleian Library.
