The diagram shows the ear structures, which are the following:

Outer ear

The external portion of the ear takes the sound waves to the middle and internal ear.

• Auricle or pinna (A)

,

• Ear canal (E)

Middle ear

Which transfers the vibration from the air to the fluid in the inner ear.

• Tympanic membrane (D)

,

• The ossicles: malleus, incus and stapes (B)

Internal ear

Which does the sound detection but also helps with balance-

• The cochlea (C)
