THE
HUMAN
EAR
http://www.a3bs.com/3d_models.html
Humans are provided with two important
organs for sensing information carried by
waves--- the ears and the eyes.
The ear is the organ for hearing. It is divided
into three parts:
 Outer Ear (pinna/auricle,auditory canal)
 Middle Ear (eardrum, ossicles, eustachian tube)
 Inner Ear (cochlea, vestibule and semicircular
canal)
PARTS OF THE EAR
THE HUMAN EAR IS DIVIDED
INTO THREE SECTIONS.
THE OUTER
EAR
 Picture a satellite dish
that collects radio waves.
 The outer ear is similar!
 The curved formation on
the outside ( the pinna)
helps funnel sound down
the ear canal to the
eardrum.
THE OUTER EAR
Pinna (auricle)- receives sound waves
that travel though the auditory canal or
ear canal.
Auditory canal (ear canal)- acts as a
funnel with an approximate length of
2.5cm and leads to the ear drum.
- also protects the eardrum from shock
and intrusion by external objects.
THE MIDDLE EAR
 The middle
ear transfers
the energy
of a sound
wave by
vibrating the
three bones
found there.
THE MIDDLE EAR
Eardrum- is a cone-shaped piece of skin
about 10mm wide.
- it is very sensitive
- even the slightest pressure variation
will cause it to vibrate.
- separates the outer ear from the
middle ear
Ossicles- smallest bones in the body
 eardrum
malleus (hammer)- long handle attached
to the - a tiny bone that passes vibrations
from the eardrum to the anvil.
 incus (anvil)- a tiny bone that passes
vibrations from the hammer to the stirrup.
 Stapes (stirrups)- a tiny, U-shaped bone that
passes vibrations from the stirrup to the
cochlea. -This is the smallest bone in
the human body (it is 0.25 to 0.33 cm
long).
BONES OF THE MIDDLE
EAR
 These are
the smallest
bones in
your body.
Hammer
Anvil
Stirrup
Eardrum
 Eustachian tube - a tube that connects the
middle ear to the back of the nose; it
equalizes the pressure between the middle
ear and the air outside.
THE INNER
EAR
 Two main
parts:
 Cochlea
 Auditory
Nerve
THE INNER EAR
Cochlea- This is a spiral tube that is
covered in a stiff membrane.
- contains thousands of hair cells
attached to the end of the organ of the
auditory nerve called Organ of Corti.
COCHLEAR HAIR CELLS
 These tiny
hairs bend
because of
the
vibrations
caused by
the sound
waves.
THE AUDITORY NERVE
 The tiny hair cells
of the cochlea are
set in motion by
vibrations
 The vibrations
stimulate tiny
nerve cells.
 The nerve cells
then send signals
along the auditory
nerve to the brain.
Auditory Nerve- These nerves receive
the electrical impulses generated by the
ear and pass this information up to the
brain so it can be interpreted.
.
 Semicircular Canals- three loops of fluid-
filled tubes that are attached to the cochlea
in the inner ear. They help us maintain our
sense of balance.
 The working of human ear is in such a way
that sound waves travel from the outer ear to
the middle ear, which are then transmitted to
the inner ear in the form of compressional
waves.
 In the inner ear, the compressional waves
are converted into electric impulses that are
perceived by the brain.
 This way, we can hear and differentiate
various sound types.
