Parts of ear

Описание: Hello everyone.
This video is mainly about the anatomy of the human ear with its different parts & functions.


The human ear is a complex organ responsible for hearing and balance. It consists of three main parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Sound waves are collected by the outer ear, travel through the middle ear where they are amplified, and then converted into electrical signals in the inner ear, which are sent to the brain for interpretation. Additionally, the inner ear contains structures responsible for balance, including the semicircular canals and the vestibule.
The human ear is divided into three main parts, each with its own set of structures and functions:
Outer ear/ External ear
Pinna (Auricle): The visible, external part of the ear that collects sound waves and directs them into the ear canal.
Ear canal/auditory Canal)Atube-like structure that carries sound waves from the pinna to the eardrum.

Middle Ear:

Eardrum (Tympanic Membrane): A thin membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves and separates the outer ear from the middle ear.

Ossicles (Malleus, Incus, Stapes): Three small bones located in the middle ear that transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.

Eustachian Tube: A narrow tube that connects the middle ear to the back of the throat, helping to equalize air pressure and drain fluid from the middle ear.

Inner Ear:

Cochlea: A spiral-shaped, fluid-filled structure responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.

Vestibular System: Comprising the semicircular canals and the vestibule, this part of the inner ear is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation.

Auditory Nerve: Transmits electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.

These parts work together to enable the sense of hearing and balance in humans.
