The three parts of the ear anatomy are the outer ear, the middle ear
and the inner ear. The inner ear is also called the cochlea. (‘Cochlea’
means ‘snail’ in Latin; the cochlea gets its name from its distinctive
coiled up shape.)
The outer ear consists of the pinna, ear canal and eardrum
The middle ear consists of the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) and ear drum
The inner ear consists of the cochlea, the auditory (hearing) nerve and the brain
Sound waves enter the ear canal and make the ear drum vibrate. This
action moves the tiny chain of bones (ossicles – malleus, incus, stapes)
in the middle ear. The last bone in this chain ‘knocks’ on the membrane
window of the cochlea and makes the fluid in the cochlea move. The
fluid movement then triggers a response in the hearing nerve.
