Internal ear, artwork
Internal ear. Artwork of a female face showing the structure of the internal ear. The ear canal leads from the external ear (pinna) to the eardrum (tympanic membrane), which separates the outer and middle ear. The Eustachian tube links the middle ear to the pharynx (not seen), situated at the back of the mouth. The spiral structures form the inner ear

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Internal Ear" beautifully depicts the intricate structure of the female internal ear. The artist skillfully showcases the various components that make up this vital organ responsible for our sense of hearing. In this illustration, we can see a detailed representation of a woman's face with her internal ear prominently displayed. Starting from the outermost part, known as the pinna or external ear, we follow the path through the ear canal until reaching the eardrum or tympanic membrane. This thin barrier separates the outer and middle ear. The middle ear is connected to the pharynx by a small tube called the Eustachian tube, which helps regulate air pressure within our ears. Although not visible in this artwork, it plays an essential role in maintaining equilibrium. Moving further inward, we encounter spiral structures that form part of our inner ear - crucial for auditory perception and balance control. This labeled diagram serves as an educational tool for understanding human anatomy and biology related to hearing health. It provides valuable insights into how sound waves travel through different parts of our ears before being processed by our brain. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty in this portrayal of one of nature's wonders – highlighting its importance while showcasing its aesthetic appeal.
