4
Olfactory Bulb Structure above nasal cavity that analyze impulses from receptor cells.
5
Humans use about 12 million olfactory receptors
Bloodhounds have about 4 billion

Outer Ear
9
Pinna Outer flap used for catching sound waves
10
External Acoustic Meatus
AKA Ear Canal Adult runs about 2.5 cm
11
Tympanic Membrane AKA Eardrum
Sound waves change the pressure of eardrum, thus producing vibrations
12
Middle Ear
13
3 Main structures Eardrum Tympanic Cavity Ossicles (3 bones
14
3 Bones of Middle Ear Malleus: Long handle attached to eardrum
15
3 Bones of Middle Ear Incus: The bridge bone between malleus and Stapes
16
3 Bones of Middle Ear Stapes: smallest bone that attaches to Cochlea
17
Sound travels through middle ear causing eardrum and ossicles to vibrate.
18
Inner Ear Includes: Semicircular Ducts Cochlea Eustachian Tube
19
Semicircular Ducts Filled with fluid Attached to Cochlea
Sends information about balance
20
Cochlea Spiral shaped organ filled with fluid.
Transforms sound into signal using pressure Signal sent through the Vestibular Nerve and Cochlear Nerve
21
Eustachian Tube Canal that drains fluid from middle ear into throat behind the nose
22
LEFT SIDE ACTIVITY Draw a diagram of an ear and a nose.
Label all of the parts and a description of their functions
