The sense of hearing
In this week I have learned one of our sense organ the ears. Ear is the one responsible for hearing and maintaining our sense of balance. It is divide into three main structures namely external ear, middle ear and inner ear. External ear contains the auricle, the external auditory meatus and the tympanic membrane. The middle ear/ tympanic cavity contains the ossicles named as the malleus, incus and stapes, and the Eustachian tube. The inner ear/ labyrinth has three areas namely cochlea, vestibule chamber and the semicircular canals.
