The video tutorial explains the structure and function of the human ear, detailing its three main parts: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. It describes how sound waves are collected by the pinna, travel through the ear canal, and cause vibrations in the eardrum. These vibrations are transmitted by the ossicles to the cochlea, where they are converted into electrical signals sent to the brain. The tutorial also covers the role of the semicircular canals in balance and provides tips for ear care.
