Inner ear anatomy C018 / 6400
Inner ear anatomy. Computer artwork of a section through the inner part of a human ear, the organ of hearing and balance. The eardrum transmits sounds, as vibrations, from the air to the bones (ossicles), of the middle ear. These bones, from left to right, are the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup). The ossicles join to the inner ear, which consists of fluid-filled passages called the labyrinth (blue). This includes the cochlea (spiral), which translates the vibrations into electrical impulses that are carried to the brain by nerves (orange), and the semi-circular canals, which are responsible for balance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate inner ear anatomy of a human. The computer artwork provides a detailed section view, revealing the organ responsible for both hearing and balance. At the center of attention is the eardrum, which acts as a vital component in transmitting sound vibrations from the air to the middle ear's ossicles. From left to right, we encounter three small bones known as malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). These ossicles play a crucial role in amplifying sounds before they reach their destination - the fluid-filled labyrinth within the inner ear. Colored in serene blue hues, this labyrinth consists of various passages that contribute to our auditory experience. One such passage is called cochlea, characterized by its spiral shape. It serves as an extraordinary translator by converting these vibrations into electrical impulses that can be interpreted by our brain through orange-colored nerves. Additionally, this remarkable system includes semi-circular canals responsible for maintaining our sense of balance. The complexity and precision depicted in this image highlight how delicate yet resilient our auditory system truly is. With every detail captured flawlessly by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, viewers are granted an awe-inspiring glimpse into one of nature's most fascinating creations – the human inner ear.
