Hearing and Balance
Inner structures of the ear reconstructed from scanned human data. Sound waves enter the ear through the external auditory meatus (ear canal) where they bounce against the thin tympanic membrane (eardrum). A vibration moves three very small bones (the ossicles) of the middle ear,which then pass on the vibration to a membrane at the entrance of the middle ear. When this membrane vibrates,it stimulates a pulsating wave through the fluid that fills the cochlea causing a current to pass over millions of small hairs called stereocilia. The stereocilia translate the mechanical movement into sensory impulses which are transmitted directly to the brain. The brain interprets the impulses as sound. The mechanisms of the inner ear are also responsible for perception of balance and equilibrium
