StarStarStarStar

Auditory Nerve

StarStarStarStar

Carries electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain.

StarStarStarStar

Ear Canal

StarStarStarStar

Transmits sound from the pinna to the eardrum.

StarStarStarStar

Spiral Ganglion

StarStarStarStar

Contains the cell bodies of the auditory nerve, which transmit auditory information to the brain.

StarStarStarStar

Eardrum

StarStarStarStar

Vibrates in response to sound waves and transmits vibrations to the ossicles.

StarStarStarStar

Corti's Tunnels

StarStarStarStar

Passageways within the organ of Corti that play a role in the hydrodynamics of hearing.

StarStarStarStar

Round Window

StarStarStarStar

Allows fluid in the cochlea to move, which enables hearing.

StarStarStarStar

Stapes

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Semicircular Canals

StarStarStarStar

Responsible for sensing rotational movements and maintaining balance, not directly involved in hearing.

StarStarStarStar

Pinna

StarStarStarStar

Collects and funnels sound into the ear canal.

StarStarStarStar

Tectorial Membrane

StarStarStarStar

Contacts hairs of the sensory cells, playing a role in the mechanical stimulation of hair cells.

StarStarStarStar

Malleus

StarStarStarStar

Transfers vibrations from the eardrum to the incus.

StarStarStarStar

Oval Window

StarStarStarStar

Transmits vibrations from the stapes into the fluid of the cochlea.

StarStarStarStar

Organ of Corti

StarStarStarStar

Contains hair cells that act as sensory receptors for sound.

StarStarStarStar

Hair Cells

StarStarStarStar

Detect sound vibrations and translate them into electrical signals for the brain.

StarStarStarStar

Incus

StarStarStarStar

Transmits vibrations from the malleus to the stapes.

StarStarStarStar

Acoustic Reflex

StarStarStarStar

Protects the ear from damage due to loud sounds by tightening the muscles connected to the ossicles.

StarStarStarStar

Eustachian Tube

StarStarStarStar

Equalizes air pressure in the middle ear with atmospheric pressure.

StarStarStarStar

Basilar Membrane

StarStarStarStar

Vibrates in response to sound and supports the organ of Corti.

StarStarStarStar

Vestibule

StarStarStarStar

Contains otolith organs that help detect linear acceleration and maintain equilibrium.

StarStarStarStar

Cochlea

StarStarStarStar

Converts mechanical vibrations into electrical signals.
