Ears

¿Qué es el oído y qué hace?

El oído consta de tres partes diferentes, que funcionan conjuntamente para captar sonidos y transmitírselos al cerebro: el oído externo, el oído medio y el oído interno.

El oído externo

El oído externo está formado por el pabellón auditivo (también conocido como "pabellón auricular" o "pabellón de la oreja") y el conducto auditivo. Los pabellones auditivos son las partes visibles que tenemos a ambos lados de la cabeza y están compuestos por cartílago duro cubierto de piel. La principal función del pabellón auditivo consiste en captar sonidos y conducirlos hacia el conducto auditivo, que conecta con el oído medio. Las glándulas de la piel que recubren el interior del conducto auditivo fabrican cera o cerumen, que protege este conducto, eliminado la suciedad y ayudando a prevenir posibles infecciones.

El oído medio

El oído medio es una cavidad llena de aire que transforma las ondas sonoras en vibraciones y las transmite al oído interno. El oído medio está separado del externo por el tímpano (o membrana timpánica), una fina lámina de tejido que va de lado a lado del conducto auditivo y que está fuertemente tensada sobre él. Los sonidos golpean el tímpano, haciendo que se mueva.
