A human ear

An ear is an organ used by an animal to detect sound waves. The term may refer to the entire system responsible for collection and early processing of sound (the beginning of the auditory system), or merely the externally-visible part. Not all animals have ears in the same part of the body. Audation is the scientific name for the sence of hearing. The organ of Corti is the actual organ of hearing.

The mammalian ear

Anatomy of the human ear.

Mammals, including humans, have two ears, one on each side of the head.

  • The outer ear is the external portion of the ear and includes the eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane. The pinna, which is the external portion of the ear, captures the sound and transfers them through the auditory canal to the tympanic membrane, which vibrates and transfers the sound to the ossicles of the tympanic membrane.
  • The middle ear includes the ossicles (three tiny bones), two muscle tendons (of the stapedius and tensor tympani muscles), and two nerve bundles (the horizontal portion of the facial nerve and a branch of the facial nerve called the chorda tympani). The Eustachian tube connects from the chamber of the middle ear to the back of the pharynx to equalize the pressure. That's why you can feel your ears "pop" when descending on an airplane
  • The inner ear comprises both the organ of hearing (the cochlea) and the labyrinth or vestibular apparatus, the organ of balance located in the inner ear that consists of three semicircular canals and the vestibule. Within the cochlea are located three canals: the tympanic canal, the vestibular canal, and the middle canal. When sound strikes the cochlea, the fluid inside is moved. This fluid stimulates the organ of Corti, located within the middle canal, to interpret the sound and send the information through the auditory nerve to the brain

Non-mammalian hearing organs

This section is a stub. You can help by adding to it.

Spiders have hairs on their legs which are used for detecting sound.

Reptilian ears only have one bone — the columella (stapes) (see below).
