outer ear
vibrations passes through the hammer, and anvil to the stirrup, the 3 smallest bones in your body
vibrations in the cochlea cause nerve cells to transmit signals to the brain
sound enters through the outer ear and reaches the eardrum, looks and acts like a funnel
narrow region leading from the outside of the ear to the eardrum
auditory nerve
part of the the inner ear responsible for helping the body keep its balance
narrow region leading from the outside of the ear to the eardrum
carries messages from the ear to the brain for processing
sound enters through the outer ear and reaches the eardrum, looks and acts like a funnel
eardrum
vibrations in the cochlea cause nerve cells to transmit signals to the brain
attached to the eardrum, vibrates when the eardrum vibrates
narrow region leading from the outside of the ear to the eardrum
small, tightly stretched, drumlike membrane, sound waves make it vibrate
The ear
receives and conducts sound to nerve to send to brain
has nothing to do with the brain
can only hear 5 ft away
has more muscle than bone
