Transcription: The human ear consists of outer, middle, and inner parts. The outer ear includes the auricle, the auditory canal, and the eardrum or tympanic membrane. The middle ear contains three small bones connecting the eardrum to the inner ear. They are the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. The inner ear contains the cochlea, housing the sound-analyzing cells which are connected to the brain through the auditory canal. sound waves enter the ear causing changes in air pressure in the auditory canal. The eardrum vibrates and the waves are amplified and transmitted by the middle ear to a membrane in the ...
