Pinna (Front Top)
Outer part of ear and acts like a funnel , taking sound from a large area and channelling it into a small canal.
Auditory Canal (Front Under pinna )
Carries sound waves to eardrum.
Ear Drum- Tympanic Membrane ( Middle )
Thin Layer of tissue that receives sound vibrations.
Ossicles ( Behind Ear Drum-3t )
Tiny bones that amplify /carry sound in the middle ear.
Auditory Nerve ( Back )
sensory nerve that transfers auditory information from the cochlea (auditory area of the inner ear) to the brain. It is one of the many pieces that make up the auditory system, which enables effective hearing.
Cochlea (Very back , snail looking )
Coiled structure of the inner ear that responds to various sound waves and converts them into nerve impulses.
Eustachain Tube (Back Tube )
Air-filled tube of the middle ear that equalizes pressure between external and internal ear.
Vestibule ( behind ossicles )
Chamber found at the base of the Semicircular Canals that provides information about static equilibrium.
Semicircular Canal (Top back , 3 circles )
Fluid-filled structures within the inner ear that provide information about Dynamic equilibrium.
Organ of Corti
Primary Sound receptor in Cochlea
Basilar Membrane
Anchors the receptor hair cells in the Organ Of Corti.
Oval Window
an oval opening at the head of the cochlea, connecting the middle and inner ear, through which sound vibrations of the stapes are transmitted.
Inner Ear
Vestibule , Semicircular Canals , Cochlea
Middle Ear
Ossicles , Ear drum , Oval Window , Eustachain tube
External Ear
Pinna and Auditory Canal
Static Equilibrium
When forces acting on an object which is at rest are balanced, then we say that the object is in a state of static equilibrium
Dynamic Equilibrium
Describes any system with constant change in which the components can adjust to the changes without disturbing the entire system.
