Ear

The ear is made of flexible, soft tissue that attaches to the side of the head. It’s divided into three parts called the outer, middle, and inner ear.

Outer Ear :

There are three different parts to the outer ear; the tragus, helix and the lobule. The ear canal starts at the outer ear and ends at the ear drum.

Middle Ear:

The middle ear includes three small bones. They are malleus, incus, the stapes. The eardrum lies between the middle ear and outer ear. The middle ear connects to the back of the nose and throat by a narrow area called the eustachian tube.

Inner Ear:

Next to the middle ear in the bone of the skull is a small compartment which contains the hearing and balance apparatus known as the inner ear. The inner ear has two main parts. The cochlea, which is the hearing portion, and the semicircular canals is the balance portion.
