Question

Which structure is located between the auricle and the eardrum? O stirrup O ear canal O auditory nerve Ocochlea​

Answer 1

Answer:

The structure that is located between the auricle and the eardrum is the ear canal.

Explanation:

The ear canal, or external ear canal, is a a tubular hole about 30 mm long that runs from the auricle to the eardrum, forming part of the external ear.

Its function is to conduct sound, in the form of vibrations, from the outside to the eardrum. It also has the function of producing a viscous secretion called cerumen, capable of trapping dust particles and small foreign bodies.

Other options are not correct because:

• Stirrup is located in the middle ear, along with the anvil and hammer.
• Cochlea is in the inner ear and continues with the auditory nerve.
