Human ear anatomy, artwork

Human ear anatomy. Computer artwork of the structure of the human ear, showing the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea (coiled, upper centre), which contains the organ of corti (upper right and lower enlargement). The organ of corti contains four rows of hair cells (green), three to the right (outer hair cells) and one to the left (inner hair cells) topped with stereocilia. These cilia touch the tectorial membrane (purple, upper right) and detect tiny movements caused by sound-induced pressures in the inner ear fluids. The hair cells translate these movements into nerve impulses, which travel to the brain, where they are deciphered as sound. Here the inner hair cells have been damaged and therefore do not transmit sounds at their specific frequencies.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This artwork captures the intricate anatomy of the human ear, revealing its complex structure and inner workings. The print showcases a detailed cross-section of the ear, showcasing the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. At the center of attention is the cochlea, elegantly coiled and responsible for our auditory sense. However, this illustration also highlights an unfortunate reality - damage to the delicate hair cells within the organ of corti. These hair cells play a crucial role in translating sound-induced pressures into nerve impulses that our brain can interpret as sound. In this image, we see that some of these vital hair cells have been damaged or lost entirely. The visual representation serves as a reminder of how hearing loss can occur due to various factors such as acoustic trauma or other morphological abnormalities. It emphasizes just how essential these tiny structures are for our ability to hear and comprehend sounds accurately. Through this thought-provoking artwork from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both healthy and unhealthy aspects of human hearing. It encourages us to appreciate our auditory system's complexity while raising awareness about potential vulnerabilities that may lead to hearing impairment or loss.
