Anatomy of Middle and Inner Ear Structures - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical illustration shows a detailed internal view of the middle and inner ear structures. The ear canal leads to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). Beyond the eardrum, the illustration shows the middle ear cavity, where the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) are depicted. The stapes connects to the cochlea, which is a coiled structure. The inner ear includes the cochlea and adjacent semicircular canals. The auditory (vestibulocochlear) nerve (yellow) is shown extending from the inner ear toward the brain. The Eustachian tube is shown connecting to the middle ear.
