What part is #1?

What part is #2?

What part is #3?

Which structure of the ear is prompted by a domino effect of auditory ossicles, which sets the fluids of the inner ear into motion impacting hearing receptors?

What are the three tiny bones that move in a domino effect when prompted by the tympanic membrane?

The first outermost ossicle and also known as the hammer

The innermost ossicle and also known as the stirrup

The second ossicle and also known as the anvil

This structure of the ear serves as a pressure value to release the energy of "used" vibrations

Mechanisms to collect, direct and relay sound waves

What produces ear wax?

What is the spiral "snail shell" where sound in the form of vibrations cause the sterocilia inside to move?

What is the "hallway" between the cochlea and the semicircular canals?

What is the name of the passageway for sound waves?

What is the structure responsible for the transmission of sound to the brain to be recognized?

What is the name of the structure that responsible for the transmission of the brain to detect rotation, acceleration, and spinning?

What is the structure which joins the cochlear nerve and vestibular nerve and leads to the brain where information will be processed?

This structure detects angular acceleration of the head (spinning) and vertical head movements (bending forward)

The movement of _________________ in the vestibule area sense gravity (tilting of the head backwards or forward) and linear acceleration (movement in a car)

Perception of the head in rotation(spinning) with the use of tufts of hair covered w/ a gelatinous cap called a _____________.

What are some common causes that could lead to hearing loss?

This is an infection in the outer ear canal, often brought on by water that remains in your ear after swimming, creating a moist environment that aids bacterial growth.

This type of surgery is needed for children who have repeated ear infections by placing a small opening in the eardrum to encourage the circulation of air into the middle ear, drying trapped fluid.

This is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear caused by a viral or bacterial infection

Area of the ear where sound is processed and balance is maintained (cochlea and semicircular canals)
