Understanding the Anatomy of the Ear

What is the primary function of the outer ear?

• To amplify sound

• To collect and direct sound waves into the ear canal

• To convert sound waves into electrical signals

• To balance air pressure

Which part of the ear contains the ossicles?

• Outer ear

• Middle ear

• Inner ear

• Ear canal

Which structure in the ear is responsible for converting sound vibrations into neural signals?

• Cochlea

• Eardrum

• Ossicles

• Pinna

What is the role of the Eustachian tube in the ear?

• To transmit sound to the brain

• To equalise air pressure on both sides of the eardrum

• To amplify sound

• To protect the inner ear from loud noises

Which part of the ear is primarily responsible for balance?

• Cochlea

• Semicircular canals

• Eardrum

• Ossicles

What is the function of the pinna?

• To convert sound waves into electrical signals

• To protect the inner ear

• To collect sound waves and funnel them into the ear canal

• To balance air pressure

Which of the following is NOT a part of the inner ear?

• Cochlea

• Semicircular canals

• Eustachian tube

• Vestibule

What is the main function of the ossicles in the ear?

• To transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear

• To protect the ear from loud noises

• To balance air pressure

• To collect sound waves

Which part of the ear is filled with fluid and helps in hearing and balance?

• Outer ear

• Middle ear

• Inner ear

• Ear canal

What is the function of the ear drum?

• vibrate when sound waves reaches it

• help you keep your balance

• entry point for sound waves

• make sound waves into electrical impulses
