The structure of the ear external anatomy
The external ear, or pinna, represents the first point of contact for sound waves entering our auditory system. This detailed anatomical illustration showcases the complex structure of the outer ear, highlighting its various components that work together to capture and funnel sound waves toward the middle ear. Each distinct part plays a crucial role in sound localization and amplification.
Ear ossicles anatomical structure
The ear ossicles represent the smallest bones in the human body, forming a sophisticated chain of structures that transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. This detailed illustration showcases the three primary ossicles - malleus, incus, and stapes - and their intricate components that work together to amplify and conduct sound waves through the middle ear cavity.
