Hearing

With your ear you can detect with sound waves.

The ears

auricle = pinna

How can you hear sound?

The way sound travels:

Pinna - Ear canal - Eardrum - Hammer - Anvil - Stirrup - Cochlea (creates nerve impulse) - Auditory nerve --> cerebrum (brain) 

The ears

-Ossicles (3 ear bones) make 

oval window vibrate, fluid

in chambers of cochlea starts

to vibrate too.

-Produces impulses in sensory

cells

-Auditory nerve transmits impulses

to brain

Eustachian tube

Eustachian tube connects to your nasal cavity/throat

Pronounce: (yoo·stay·kee·uhn·choob)

Balance ear

Semicircular ducts --> filled with fluid. 

Detects the direction of movement and acceleration.

Muscles respond, mantains your balance.
