Well probably very gross. ----- Our ears are part of the auditory system, but most of the parts that we use to hear are inside our heads. There is an ear canal, the ear drum, three bones and a snail-shaped bit called the cochlea. Then signals travel along a nerve to the brain. There is a diagram here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

Compare animals ears with human ears?

Look inside any mammal's ear, it's the same. Most have a much larger flare of the helix, but as you get closer to the auditory canal they all have the same complex series of folds. These folds exist so that different portions of the auditory spectrum are absorbed depending on which direction a sound is coming from, giving your brain one more way to separate the locations of sounds in space apart from simple binaural stereolocation.


What does a human cell look like?

A human cell is typically round or oval in shape and has a cell membrane that encloses the cytoplasm and the cell's organelles. The nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material, is usually located in the center of the cell. Additionally, human cells can vary in size and structure depending on their specific function.

What parts of the brain are involved when you hear something and look at i?

When you hear something and look at it, multiple parts of the brain are activated. The auditory cortex processes the sound information, while the visual cortex processes the visual information. The parietal cortex helps integrate these sensory inputs to create a coherent perception of the world around you.
