How the Ear Works

 

The ear is the part of the body that allows people to hear. The ear has the following parts:

Outer ear
Outer ear flap
Ear canal
Eardrum

Middle Ear
Ossicles bones
Stirrup
Hammer
Anvil

Eustachian Tube

Inner Ear
Cochlea
3 semicircular canals
Utricle
saccule


The ear works like this: Sound waves travel through the ear canal and vibrate on the eardrum. The eardrum vibrations go into the three bones. The bones also increase or decrease the sound. The bones then transmit the vibrations to the semicircular canals. The vibrations then go to the cochlea, which then puts the vibration in to nerves by the liquid in the ear and is sends it up to the brain.
