TermDefinition
Otoscope an instrument designed for visual examination
Structures of the Ear A collection of online resources developed by NHGRI Division of Intramural Research investigators, including specialized genomic databases and novel software tools for use in genomic analysis
Ear Canal the passage that extends from the external opening of the ear to the eardrum.
Tympanic Membrane a membrane forming part of the organ of hearing, which vibrates in response to sound waves. In humans and other higher vertebrates it forms the eardrum, between the outer and middle ear.
Ossicles This article is about the bones in the human ear. For elements embedded in the body wall of echinoderms
Eustachian Tube a narrow passage leading from the pharynx to the cavity of the middle ear, permitting the equalization of pressure on each side of the eardrum.
Cochlea the spiral cavity of the inner ear containing the organ of Corti, which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations.
Semicircular Canals three fluid-filled bony channels in the inner ear. They are situated at right angles to each other and provide information about orientation to the brain to help maintain balance.
