Artwork of the hearing organs of the human ear

Organs of hearing. Artwork illustrating the hearing organs of the human ear. At left is the visible part of the ear, the pinna, which channels sound waves along the ear canal to the ear drum. The ear drum (blue, lower centre) transmits the sound to the bones of the inner ear (centre, pink). These 3 tiny joined bones consist of the malleus (hammer), the incus (anvil) and the stapes (stirrup). The cochlea (spiral, lower right), contains microscopic hairs that respond to sound vibrations from the middle ear. The loops (upper right) are semi-circular canals which are responsible for balance

Artwk Auditory Sense Cochlea Ear Drum Hearing Inner Ear Middle Ear Semicircular Canal


EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate and fascinating hearing organs of the human ear. The print provides a detailed illustration of the various components involved in our auditory sense, shedding light on their functions and interconnections. Starting from the left, we observe the pinna, which is the visible part of our ear. Acting as a funnel, it directs sound waves towards the ear canal leading to an essential structure known as the eardrum. This blue-colored membrane plays a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations further into our ears. Moving towards the center, we encounter three minuscule bones that form part of our inner ear: malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). These interconnected bones work harmoniously to amplify and transmit sound signals deeper into our auditory system. The cochlea takes center stage on this artwork's lower right side—a spiral-shaped structure housing microscopic hairs that respond to these amplified sound vibrations received from the middle ear. It is within this delicate organ that sounds are transformed into electrical impulses for interpretation by our brain. Lastly, depicted on the upper right corner are semi-circular canals responsible for maintaining balance—an often overlooked but vital function performed by our ears. Through this mesmerizing art piece created by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both anatomical details and physiological processes underlying one of humanity's most remarkable senses—our ability to hear.
