Collects sound waves from the environment.

Captures and directs sound into the ear canal.

Carries sound from the pinna to the eardrum.

Amplifies sound vibrations.

Vibrates in response to sound waves, moves bones in ear.

Three tiny bones that amplify and transmit vibrations.

Converts sound vibrations into electrical signals for the brain.

Converts vibrations into electrical signals; fluid-filled spiral structure.

The visible part of your ear that captures sound and directs it towards the ear canal.

A tube that transmits sound from the pinna to the eardrum.

A thin, flexible membrane that vibrates when sound waves hit it, transferring those vibrations to the middle ear.

Three tiny bones in the middle ear: Malleus (hammer), Incus (anvil), and Stapes (stirrup) that amplify sound vibrations.

A spiral-shaped structure filled with fluid that converts sound vibrations into electrical signals.

A nerve that carries electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.

Located near the cochlea, it helps with balance by detecting your head's position and movement.

Sound travels through the ear in three stages: 1) Outer ear collects sound, 2) Middle ear amplifies sound, 3) Inner ear converts sound into electrical signals for the brain.

The outer ear acts like a funnel, collecting sound from the environment and directing it towards the inside of your ear.

The pinna is the visible part of your ear that captures sound and directs it into the ear canal.

The middle ear amplifies sound vibrations to make them louder for the inner ear to hear.

The eardrum is a thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves hit it, moving the bones in the middle ear.

The ossicles are three tiny bones (malleus, incus, stapes) that amplify vibrations from the eardrum and send them to the inner ear.

The auditory nerve carries the electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.
