Outer ear
The ear skull, also known as the temporal bone, protects the delicate structures of the inner ear, such as the cochlea and semicircular canals, and helps in transmitting sound vibrations to the brain for processing.
The temporal bones, part of the cranium (skull), contain and protect the organs of hearing. Within the ears are functional, rather than protective, bones of the middle ear. There are three of them, the Maleus, Incus and Stapes. They act to transmit vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear.
The petrous part of the temporal bone encloses the structures of the inner ear. Inside the tympanic cavity within the petrous part is the middle ear. The external acoustic canal ends at the tympanic membrane, which leads to the inner ear. Mastoid air cells within the mastoid process are connected to the tympanic cavity.
