EAR PARTS
The human ear is divided into three parts:
i) Outer ear
ii) Middle ear
iii) Inner ear
MIDDLE EAR
Attached to the ear drum there are three tiny bones called ossicles (the malleus, incus and stapes or hammer, anvil and stirrup). Their purpose is to act as a bridge and transfer the sound vibrations from the outer to the inner ear. Part of the middle ear is the Eustachian tube which is connected to the back of the throat and equalizes the pressure between the middle ear and the environment.
