    The document summarizes the anatomy and function of the ear. It includes a table that identifies structures of the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear includes the auricle and ear canal. The middle ear contains the eardrum, ossicles, and oval window. The inner ear is made up of the semicircular canals, cochlea, and auditory nerve. Each structure plays an important role in transmitting sound waves, converting them to nerve signals, and sending those signals to the brain.

    Complete the following table:
    Anatomy

    Outer, middle or inner


    ear?

    Function

    Auricle

    Outer ear

    Cartilage that is Clexible


    and extends the ear canal.

    Ear Canal

    Middle ear

    Provides a waxy
    substance to protect and
    lubricate the ear, has
    small hairs that prevent
    small animals from
    coming into the ear and it
    also conducts sound to
    the tympanic membrane.

    Eardrum

    Positioned between the


    outer ear and the middle
    ear

    Gives protection between


    the outer and middle ear.
    It vibrates simultaneously
    with a sound wave that
    has reacher it.

    Ossicles

    Middle ear

    Transmits vibrations from


    the eardrum to the oval
    window.

    Oval Window

    Situated between the


    middle and inner ear

    A thin membrane that


    receives vibrations from
    the eardrum through the
    oval window.

    Semicircular Canals

    Inner ear

    Each canal is Cilled with


    Cluid and contain a crista -
    a sensory organ.

    Cochlear

    Inner ear

    A tube Cilled with


    perilymph. It converts
    sound into electricity with
    get passed along to the
    auditory nerve.

    Auditory Nerve

    Inner ear

    Electrical impulses travel


    along the auditory nerve.

    Eustachian

    Middle ear

    A tube that connects the
