Q

3 div of ear

A

There are three divisions of the ear: outer, middle, and
inner.
Outer ear
 Pinna
 Ear canal
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the outer
ear from the middle ear.
The middle ear starts at the tympanic membrane.
It is a space that contains tiny bones.
 Incus, malleus, and stapes
These tiny bones carry the vibrations from the tympanic
membrane to the inner ear

Q

Cochlea

A

The inner ear begins with the entrance to the cochlea. The cochlea is a bony shell filled with fluid
and hair.
When sound waves are transferred to the fluid
within the cochlea, the fluid moves and
vibrates tiny hairs attached to a membrane.
The tiny hairs vibrate, creating electrical
signals that travel down the acoustic nerve to
the brain.
