Anatomical View of Ear Structures - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical illustration provides a semi-transparent view of the head, focusing on the structures of the ear. The outer ear includes the external ear (pinna) and the ear canal, which transports sound waves to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). Beyond the eardrum, the illustration shows the middle ear with its ossicles: the malleus, incus, and stapes. The stapes connects to the cochlea, part of the inner ear, depicted here along with the semicircular canals. The auditory (vestibulocochlear) nerve is shown extending from the inner ear toward the brain. The Eustachian tube is shown connecting to the middle ear.
