The membrane at the end of the external auditory meatus leading from the outer ear, which vibrates with sound and passes the vibrations on to the ossicles in the middle ear.
The membrane at the junction of the external auditory canal and the middle ear cavity.
A membrane that transmits sound waves from the outer ear to the middle ear.
The thin membrane at the end of the ear canal that vibrates when sound waves strike it.
An exceedingly delicate membrane, akin to a sheet of paper, spans the ear canal, serving as a division between the outer and middle regions of the ear.
The eardrum, a circular membrane, serves as the boundary between the outer ear and the middle ear. It responds to sound waves by vibrating, and these vibrations transmit the sound to the inner ear. This transfer of sound occurs through the ossicles, which are three small bones located in the middle ear.
The eardrum oscillates in response to sound waves, contributing to our ability to hear.
