Detailed explanation-1: -The auricle (pinna) is the visible portion of the outer ear. It collects sound waves and channels them into the ear canal (external auditory meatus), where the sound is amplified.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cochlea analyzes sound frequencies (distinguishes pitch) by means of the basilar membrane, which exhibits different degrees of stiffness, or resonance, along its length.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three main parts of your ear include the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parts of the Outer Ear The outer ear consists of the visible portion on the side of the head, known as the pinna [1], and the external auditory canal (ear canal) [2]. The purpose of the pinna is to catch sound waves, amplify them slightly, and funnel them down the ear canal to the tympanic membrane (eardrum) [3].

Detailed explanation-5: -The cochlea is filled with liquid. It contains a smaller, sensitive structure called the organ of Corti. This acts like the body’s “microphone.” It contains 4 rows of tiny hairs that pick up the vibrations from the sound waves.
