Question | Answer |
external ear | outer structures of the ear that collect sound |
pinna | auricle (little ear); projected part of the external ear (pinna = feather) |
external auditory meatus or canal | external passage for sounds collected from the pinna to the tympanum |
cerumen | a waxy substance secreted by glands located throughout the external canal |
middle ear | structures in the middle of the ear that vibrate sound from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear |
tympanic membrane (TM) (see Fig. 11-3, B) | eardrum; drum-like structure that receives sound collected in the external auditory canal and amplifies it through the middle ear |
malleus | hammer; first of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear |
incus | anvil; middle of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear |
stapes | stirrup; last of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear |
eustachian tube | tube connecting the middle ear to the pharynx (throat) |
oval window | membrane that covers the opening between the middle ear and inner ear |
inner ear | intricate, fluid-filled, intercommunicating bony and membranous passages that function in hearing by relaying sound waves to auditory nerve fibers on a path to the brain for interpretation; also sense body movement and position to maintain balance and equ |

organ of Corti | structure located in the cochlea; contains receptors (hair cells) that receive vibrations and generate nerve impulses for hearing |
vestibule | middle part of the inner ear, in front of the semicircular canals and behind the cochlea, that contains the utricle and the saccule; functions to provide body balance and equilibrium |
