hearing condition
pinna
fleshy part of the ear
funnel shape helps collect sound from the air and send it to the eardrum
tympanic membrane
eardrum
cerumen
ear wax, natural antibiotic, and a lubricant to keep the ear canal moist
salpinx
tube that helps drain the ear of any fluid and keeps pressure inside the middle ear the same as the outside
three bones that make up the middle ear
incus, stapes and malleus
What is the middle ear connected to?
connected to the nose and throat through a tube (salpinx)
salping/o
eustachian tube
tympan/o and myring/o
eardrum
mastoid/o
mastoid process
cochlea
shell shaped organ in the inner ear, with fluid and hair
labyrinth
inner ear
contains the cochlea (controls hearing)
vestibular system (controls balance)
acoustic nerve
send electrical nerves to the brain, and the brain processes these signals
vestibular system
sends information to the brain about the tilt, rotation, and motion of the head
made of small canals filled with fluid and hair
hair is moved by movement and head angles
hairs help maintain balance and coordinate movement with eyes

vestibule
small space at the beginning of a canal
regulates balance
