Structure. The temporal bone consists of four parts— the squamous, mastoid, petrous and tympanic parts.

The temporal bone features important structures of the vestibulocochlear apparatus, including the external acoustic meatus, the tympanic cavity and the structures of the inner ear. Each temporal bone consists of four parts: petrous, mastoid, tympanic, and squamous parts.

Orientation: The utricle is one of two "otolithic organs" in the human ear, the utricle and saccule. On the diagram above, the utricle are located in the vestibule, between the semicircular canals (5), and the cochlea (9). This figure shows a closeup of the inner ear.

The auditory nerve connects the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the auditory cortex on both sides of the brain, where sound is processed. The auditory cortex is divided into three parts: Primary auditory cortex: This area is primarily responsible for the ability to hear.

Tympanic membrane. The tympanic membrane is a vital component of the human ear, and is more commonly known as the eardrum.

The Eustachian tube extends from the anterior wall of the middle ear to the lateral wall of the nasopharynx, approximately at the level of the inferior nasal concha. It consists of a bony part and a cartilaginous part.

The ear's function is to transmit and transduce sound to the brain through the parts of the ear: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The major task of the ear is to detect, transmit and transduce sound. Another very important function of the ear is to maintain our sense of balance.

The middle ear – The middle ear consists of a space lined by tissue connected to the back of the mouth and the throat via a tube called the Eustachian tube.
