Ear anatomy
Ear anatomy. Historical anatomical artwork of a human ear. The main diagram (centre) shows the outer ear (pinna, left) and the internal structure of the ear (moving left-right): the ear canal, the ear drum (blue), the ear bones, the cochlea (snail shaped). Just before the cochlea are two other stuctures: the semicircular canals (three loops at right angles to each other), and the Eustachian tube (brown, connecting to the throat). The ear bones are also shown at top. The ear drum and its blood vessels is also at lower centre with another ear membrane below. The temporal bone (bottom) houses the ear. Artwork from The Nerves of the Human Body (Ed. Jones Quain, London, 1839)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical anatomical artwork of the intricate ear anatomy. Dating back to 1839, this illustration from "The Nerves of the Human Body" provides a detailed depiction of the human ear's internal structure and outer features. At its center, we observe the pinna, or outer ear, on the left side while moving towards the right reveals an array of essential components. The main diagram highlights various elements including the ear canal, represented by a pathway leading inward. Just beyond lies the mesmerizing blue-colored eardrum, followed by delicate ear bones and finally culminating in the snail-shaped cochlea. Adjacent to this remarkable structure are two additional formations: three semicircular canals arranged at right angles to each other and a brown Eustachian tube connecting to the throat. Atop this comprehensive illustration are showcased both upper and lower views of the ear bones along with another membrane situated below. The temporal bone is prominently displayed at bottom as it houses this marvelously complex organ responsible for our sense of hearing. This awe-inspiring artwork not only serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals but also offers us a glimpse into history's exploration of human anatomy. With meticulous attention to detail and artistic finesse, it stands as a testament to mankind's ongoing quest for knowledge about our own bodies.
