Parts of human ear and its function?

Answer 1

Some of the parts of the human ear are: (from external to internal) Pinna, Ear lobe, Auditory canal, Malleus, Eardrum, Incus, Stapes, Oval window, Semi-circular canals, Auditory nerve, Cochlea Eustachion tube.

Their function:

These parts all work together to transfer wave lengths to vibration to nerve and finally to sound. They do this by firstly collecting the wave lengths which the pinna does that. The wave lengths travels through the auditory canal and hits the eardrum. The eardrum transfers them into vibrations which concentrate within the malleus, then to the incus and finally to the stapes. The vibrations travel to the oval window. As the oval window pushes inward, the round window moves outward. This triggers waves of fluid within the inner ear. The cochlea receives the fluid waves and converts them into electrical impulses by the organ of corti. Fluid vibration moves the basiler membrane and the hair cells bend. The movement of the hair calls stimulate sensory nerves in the basiler membrane. The Auditory nerves helps to send the information to the temporal lobe of the cerebrum.

Answer 2

The three main parts of the ear are the outer ear, middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear's function is to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear. The middle ear's function is to protect the inner ear from damaging sounds. In the inner ear, sound waves are converted into nerve impulses which are transmitted to the brain to be interpreted.

The inner ear also serves as the main organ of balance for the body.

Answer 3

The human ear has many parts that work together to help your hear and maintain your balance. The pinna is the outside part of the ear that directs sounds into the ear. Sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, which creates the sound you hear. The Eustachian tube is responsible for maintaining your balance.
