14 wrz 2024 · The outer ear, consisting of the pinna (the visible part of the ear) and the auditory canal, is our first line of defense in the hearing process. The pinna, with its unique shape and contours, acts like a natural satellite dish, collecting sound waves and funneling them into the ear canal.
1 dzień temu · The ear is a complex sensory organ responsible for hearing and balance. It is divided into three main sections: the external ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Each part plays a critical role in capturing sound, transmitting it, and maintaining equilibrium. The ear consists of structures such as the auricle (pinna), external auditory canal, tympanic.
16 sie 2020 · This article will focus on the anatomy of the external ear – its structure, neurovascular supply and clinical correlations. The external ear can be divided functionally and structurally into two parts; the auricle (or pinna), and the external acoustic meatus – which ends at the tympanic membrane.
24 lis 2022 · There is a cartilaginous portion, known as the pinna or auricle and a bony, tubular segment called the external acoustic meatus. The former portion of the auditory system is the first point at which sound wave modification begins.
28 wrz 2024 · Tragus: The tragus is a small, pointed flap of cartilage that projects outward from the front of the auricle, covering part of the external auditory canal. It is positioned anterior to the concha and plays a role in sound wave entry.
27 lip 2023 · The outer ear/visible ear is referred to as the pinna. It collects omnidirectional sound waves and transforms them into a unidirectional source of information. By funneling the sound waves in this way, it is able to direct them into the auditory canal and amplify them.
17 maj 2024 · The outer ear, also known as the external ear or auris externa, consists of the auricle, ear canal, and eardrum. They work together to funnel sound waves from the environment to the middle and inner ear, where they are translated into nerve impulses for the brain.
