The Human ear is made up of 3 parts: the outer, the middle and the inner ear. The outer ear consists of Pinna which serves as protection for delicate inner parts of the ear and the external auditory meatus or the ear canal which collects the sound and directs it towards the ear drum. The tympanic membrane also called the ear drum, divides the external ear from the middle ear. The middle ear comprises of: the ossicles and the eustachian tube. The Inner ear, consists of 3 parts: Cochlea (which contains the nerves for hearing); Vestibule (which contains receptors for balance) and Semicircular canals (which contain receptors for balance).
