Artwork of sensory organs in middle & inner ear
Middle and inner ear. Artwork illustrating the internal organs of the human ear. The middle ear transmits sound from the ear drum (pink centre left) to the inner ear. It consists of 3 tiny joined bones (the ossicles, brown upper left): the malleus, joined to the inside of the eardrum, the incus, & the stapes, connected to the inner ear. The inner ear consists of fluid-filled passages called the labyrinth (blue and pink). The spiral cochlea (right), contains microscopic hairs that respond to sound vibrations from the middle ear. Nerves (yellow) connect the cochlea to the brain. The loops at top are semi-circular canals which are responsible for balance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate and delicate internal organs of the human ear. The middle ear, depicted in a vibrant pink hue at the center left, serves as a crucial pathway for transmitting sound from the ear drum to the inner ear. It comprises three interconnected bones known as ossicles, portrayed in an elegant shade of brown on the upper left. These tiny yet mighty bones include the malleus, which attaches to the inside of the eardrum, followed by the incus and stapes that connect to the inner ear. The inner ear is beautifully illustrated with fluid-filled passages called labyrinth, painted in shades of blue and pink. Within this labyrinth lies a remarkable spiral cochlea on the right side of this artwork. This extraordinary structure contains microscopic hairs that respond harmoniously to sound vibrations received from the middle ear. Yellow nerves gracefully intertwine throughout this masterpiece connecting these sensory organs within our ears directly to our brain. Atop this stunning composition are loops representing semi-circular canals responsible for maintaining our balance. This awe-inspiring art print not only celebrates human anatomy but also highlights how these auditory senses work together seamlessly within us. Created by Science Photo Library, it invites us into a world where science meets artistry and captivates both our eyes and minds with its intricate details and vibrant colors.
