    The document discusses the structure and function of the human ear. It describes how sound waves are transmitted through the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear collects sound waves and directs them through the external auditory canal. In the middle ear, the vibrations are transmitted through the tympanic membrane and three small bones to the oval window of the inner ear. In the inner ear, the organ of Corti inside the cochlea acts as the sensory receptor that converts the vibrations into neural signals interpreted by the brain. The vestibular organ in the inner ear provides information about orientation and movement.

    The Sound and the Ear

    Angelo Carlo D. Pilapil


    General Principles of Sound
    Sound waves
    Are periodic compressions of air,
    water, or other media.

    Amplitude
    Is the intensity, which is the
    compression of molecules in the sound
    waves.
    General Principles of Sound
    Loudness
    is a sensation related to amplitude
    but not identical to it. Ex. People
    talking fast.
    Decibels
    General Principles of Sound
    Frequency
    Is the number of compressions per
    second, measured in herts (Hz, cycles
    per second).

    PITCH
    is the related
    aspect of
    perception.

    General Structure of the Ear

    Outer ear
    Pinna- helps us locate the position of
    the sound
    External Auditory Canal- allows the
    sound waves to pass through the ears.

    General Structure of the Ear
    Middle ear
    Tympanic membrane (eardrum)-
    transmits vibrations to three tiny bones.
    Three small bones

    Hammer Malleus
    Anvil Incus
    Stirrup Stapes
    General Structure of the Ear
    Inner ear
    Oval Window- opening of the cochlea
    that allows sound waves to reach the
    Organ of corti.
    Organ of corti (hair cells)- located inside
    the cochlea, sensory receptor of the ear.
    Sound interpretation
    Fast music= more neurons=
    Rock n’roll

    Slow music= few neurons


    =Relax
    Does our sensation affects our
    interpretation?
    Hearing loss
    Conductive deafness i.e.
    problem in the middle ear

    Nerve deafness
    Vestibular Organ
    The sensory
    structures in the
    inner ear that
    provide the
    brain with
    information
    about
    orientation and
    movement.
    Vestibular Organ
    Ex. Try move
    your head while
    reading!!
