ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ear is a sensory organ that picks up sound waves, allowing us to hear. It is also essential to our sense of balance: the organ of balance (the vestibular system) is found inside the inner ear.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cochlea is the auditory sense organ within the inner ear that is responsible for hearing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ears are the auditory sense organs of our body. They help us to perceive sounds. Our auditory system detects vibrations in the air and this is how we hear sounds.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are six distinct sensory organs in the mammalian inner ear: the three cristae of the semicircular canals, the two maculae of the saccule and utricle, and the organ of Corti of the cochlea (Fig. 1). The cristae and the maculae are vestibular organs that respond to angular and linear acceleration, respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sense of hearing perceives music, speech and environmental sounds in a differentiated manner that surpasses the capabilities of other sensory organs. The human ear is more sensitive and faster than the eye.
