Auricle (Pinna)
■ Directs sound waves.
External auditory canal (meatus)
■ Contains hair and cerumen (wax).
■ Serves as resonator and conduit.
middle ear
Tympanic cavity.
■ Air-filled cavity in temporal bone.
Auditory tube: Equalizes pressure.
■ Ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes): Transmit sounds from txx to yyy → to zzz→ converting them to
aaa pressure sounds that are able to travel through fluid.
Auditory tube: Equalizes pressure.
■ Ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes): Transmit sounds from tympanic
membrane to oval window → to inner ear → converting them to
higher pressure sounds that are able to travel through fluid
Formed by bony labyrinth and membranous labyrinth
■ Vestibule (saccule and utricle)
■ Associated with sense of balance and linear acceleration (static position)
inner ear
inner ear
Semicircular canals
■ Concerned with equilibrium and angular momentum.
Cochlea (
two membranes: vestibular and basilar)
Responsible for hearing.
■ Spiral organ (organ of Corti).
■ Receptors (hair cells) for hearing.
■ Basic functional unit of hearing.
■ Transforms fluid vibrations from sound waves (mechanical energy)
into a nerve impulse (electrical energy).

Hearing
■ Ability to detect sound.
■ Human hearing range = 20–20,000 Hz.
Pitch
■ Related to the frequency of the sound wave.
■ ↑ frequency = ↑ pitch.
■ Frequency is measures in hertz (Hz) or cycles per second.
Loudness (amplitude)
■ Related to the intensity and the amplitude of the wave.
■ ↑ amplitude = ↑ intensity = ↑ loudness.
■ Intensity is measured in decibels (dB).
Timbre (quality)
■ Related to the presence of additional sound-wave frequencies superimposed
on the principal frequency

Direct detection of chemical composition via contact with xxx
cells.
■ Food broken down;yyy molecules bind with protein from zzz.
■ These bound molecules stimulate aaa aaa receptors.
■ von Ebner’s glands secrete bbb bbb
Direct detection of chemical composition via contact with chemoreceptor
cells.
■ Food broken down; taste-producing molecules bind with protein from
Ebner’s glands.
■ These bound molecules stimulate taste bud receptors.
■ von Ebner’s glands secrete lingual lipase.
taste buds
Made of gustatory receptor cells that synapse with sensory nerve fibers.
Fungiform papillae
■ Rounded.
■ Located mostly at the tongue tip of the tongue (which is innervated
by VII).
■ Contain ~5 taste buds.
Vallate papillae (circumvallate)
■ In “V” arrangement on the back of the tongue (which is innervated
by IX). Contain ~100 taste buds.
■ Associated with von Ebner’s glands (as are foliate papillae).
On the mucosa of the epiglottis, palate, and pharynx.
