Soundboard Sound Tranmission

Here is another question. I hear so much about sound traveling along a bridge, along ribs, through soundboards, bouncing off rims, zinging here and there. Does sound generated by the vibrating string actually travel along all/some of these routes, or is it a more simple process of the string vibrates, which in turn makes the bridge vibrate, which in turn makes the board vibrate, with in turn makes the air vibrate which our ears/brain detect as sound?
