The ______________________________, known as the “stirrup,” is one of the auditory ossicles of themiddle ear. It plays a key role, with the malleus and incus, in transferring vibrations from thetympanic membrane to the oval window to facilitate hearing.
The ______________________________ funnels sound waves. It consists of the auricle and the external
acoustic meatus. It is the outermost section of the ear.
The ______________________________ is a spiral-shaped structure of the inner ear that looks like ashell. When it receives movement from the three auditory ossicles, fluid inside it moves. Thesefluid waves move hair cells, which activates nervous system receptors. Signals travel to the brain,
where they are interpreted as sound.
The ______________________________ is a passageway from the bottom of the concha to the tympanic
membrane. It forms an S-shaped curve.
The ______________________________ contains fluid-filled canals that contribute to hearing andbalance. It’s the innermost part of the ear and contains two types of labyrinths: A bony labyrinthwith a series of cavities, including the semicircular canals and the vestibule, and a membranous
labyrinth.
The ______________________________ contains three auditory ossicles, the malleus, incus, and stapes.
The ______________________________, known as the “hammer,” is one of the auditory ossicles of themiddle ear. It plays a key role in transferring vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the incus
to facilitate hearing.

The ______________________________ is composed of a curved helix and an inferior part called thelobule.
______________________________ provide sensory input for equilibrium. There are three of these in
the inner ear: superior, posterior, and lateral. Each of these has an expansion at one end, called
the ampulla, which contains fluid known as endolymph. As the head rotates or moves, themovement of the endolymph causes hair cells to bend, generating nerve impulses.
The ______________________________, known as the “anvil,” is one of the auditory ossicles of themiddle ear. It plays a key role, with the malleus, in transferring vibrations from the tympanic
membrane to the stapes to facilitate hearing.
The ______________________________, also known as the ear drum, is a thin, nearly oval membrane.
When sound waves strike this structure, it creates vibrations that travel to the bones of themiddle ear to facilitate hearing.
The ______________________________ is the central part of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear.
The ______________________________ is an opening that leads from the middle ear to the vestibuleof the inner ear. Vibrations, transferred from bone to bone in the middle ear, hit this membrane,
causing it to vibrate and build pressure waves in the cochlea. This begins a process thatgenerates nerve impulses.
