tympanic membrane
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is found in the middle ear. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear and plays a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear for further processing.
The external feature of the ear that contains the helix and lobule is the pinna, also known as the auricle. The pinna is the visible part of the ear that collects sound waves and directs them into the ear canal.
The external ear is supported by the elastic cartilage of the auricle (pinna). This cartilage helps maintain the shape and structure of the external ear, allowing it to collect and direct sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum. The external ear also contains the earlobe, which is primarily composed of fat and connective tissue.
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the external auditory meatus (ear canal) from the middle ear. It vibrates in response to sound waves entering the ear canal and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear ossicles.
The external ear is supported by elastic cartilage, particularly the auricle (pinna) which is the visible part of the external ear. This cartilage provides structure and shape to the ear while allowing for flexibility and movement.
outer ear
The medical term for absence of the external ear is "anotia." This condition involves complete absence of the external ear.
The external ear refers to the entire structure outside the ear canal, including the auricle (pinna) and ear canal, while the outer ear specifically refers to the visible part of the external ear, which is the auricle.
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is found in the middle ear. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear and plays a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear for further processing.
Yes, the tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is part of the external ear. It separates the external ear from the middle ear and plays a crucial role in transmitting sound waves to the middle ear.
No. Platypuses have no external earlobes. They have external openings to the ear which are located either side of the base of the jaw.
You have external ear, middle ear and the internal ear. You have the auricle and the ear canal is there in the external ear. Then you have a ear drum, that separates external ear from the middle ear. In the middle ear, you have three tiny bones. Eustachian canal is there in the middle ear. Then you have oval and round window to separate the middle ear from internal ear. In the internal ear, you have vestibulocochlear apparatus and the vestbulocochlear nerve is there.
It is just between your external ear and your middle ear.
