Anatomy Of The Ear: How The Parts Work Together
The human ear is a remarkable and intricate system composed of three main parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear, including the pinna (auricle) and ear canal, captures sound waves and directs them inward. The eardrum (tympanic membrane) converts these sound vibrations into mechanical energy, which is then amplified by the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) in the middle ear. This mechanical energy is transformed into hydraulic energy as it moves through the fluid-filled cochlea...
