Funnel sounds into the ear canal and assists in sound localization.

Transmits sound from the pinna to the eardrum; contributes to the resonance of sound.

Vibrates in response to sound waves; convert acoustic energy into mechanical energy.

Connects with the eardrum to transmit sounds to the incus.

Transfers vibrations from the malleus to the stapes.

Conveys vibrations from the incus to the oval window of the cochlea.

Equalizes air pressure in the middle ear with the external atmosphere.

Transfers mechanical vibrations from the stapes to the fluid in the cochlea.

Allows for the displacement of cochlear fluid caused by the movement of the oval window.

Transduces mechanical sound vibrations into nerve impulses which are sent to the brain.

Contains hair cells that convert vibratory motion into electrical signals for the auditory nerve.

Part of the vestibular system, important for balance and spatial orientation.

Carries auditory sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the brain.

The central part of the bony labyrinth, involved in the sense of balance.

Involved in the auditory transduction process by interacting with the hair cells of the Organ of Corti.

Part of the cochlea that contains the endolymph which the Organ of Corti sits in.

It supports the Organ of Corti and vibrates in response to sound, allowing hair cells to transduce mechanical signals.

A passage at the apex of the cochlea that connects the scala tympani and scala vestibuli allowing fluid to move between them.

Fluid within the cochlea in two of its three compartments (scala vestibuli and scala tympani) that carries sound vibrations to the cochlear duct.
