The Ear
 Houses two senses
 Hearing
 Equilibrium (balance)
 Receptors are mechanoreceptors

Slide 8.20
Hearing: Mechanoreceptors
• Sound waves
• Conduction
• Air
• Bone
• Fluid
• Membranes
• To hair cell

Anatomy of the Ear
 The ear is divided into three areas
 Outer
(external)
ear
 Middle
ear
 Inner
ear

Slide 8.21
The External Ear
 Involved in
hearing only
 Structures of
the external
ear
 Pinna
 External
auditory canal

Slide 8.22
The External Auditory Canal
 Narrow chamber in the temporal bone
 Lined with skin
 wax glands are present
 Ends at the tympanic membrane

Slide 8.23
The Middle Ear or Tympanic Cavity
 Air-filled cavity within the temporal bone
 Only involved in the sense of hearing
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Slide
The Middle Ear or Tympanic Cavity
 Two tubes are associated with the inner
ear
 The opening from the auditory canal is
covered by the tympanic membrane
 The auditory tube connecting the middle ear
with the throat
 Allows for equalizing pressure during yawning
or swallowing
 This tube is otherwise collapsed

Slide
Bones of the Tympanic Cavity
 Three bones
span the cavity
 Malleus
(hammer)
 Incus (anvil)
 Stapes (stirrip)

Slide
Bones of the Tympanic Cavity
 Vibrations from
eardrum move
the malleus
 These bones
transfer sound
to the inner ear

Inner Ear or Bony Labyrinth
 Includes sense organs for hearing and
balance
 Filled with
perilymph
Figure 8.12

Slide
Inner Ear or Bony Labyrinth
 A maze of bony chambers within the
temporal bone
 Cochlea
 Vestibule
 Semicircular
canals

Hearing: Hair Cell Transduction
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 10-20: The cochlea
Organs of Hearing
 Organ of Corti
 Located within the cochlea
 Receptors = hair cells on the basilar
membrane
 Gel-like tectorial membrane is capable of
bending hair cells
 Cochlear nerve attached to hair cells
transmits nerve impulses to auditory cortex
on temporal lobe

Organs of Hearing

Slide
Mechanisms of Hearing
 Vibrations from sound waves move
tectorial membrane
 Hair cells are bent by the membrane
 An action potential starts in the cochlear
nerve
 Continued stimulation can lead to
adaptation

Slide 8.28
Hearing: Hair Cell Transduction
• Fluid wave moves
• Tectoral membrane
• Steriocilia move
• Ion channels open
• Depolarization
• NT release
• Sensory nerve AP
