The ear can be divided into different parts, and here are the alternative names for the outer ear, inner ear, and the three types of ossicles:
1. **Outer Ear**: Also known as the **external ear**. It includes the pinna (auricle) and the ear canal (external auditory canal).
2. **Inner Ear**: Also referred to as the **internal ear**. It contains the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals.
3. **Types of Ossicles**: The three small bones in the middle ear, known collectively as ossicles, are:
- **Malleus** (hammer)
- **Incus** (anvil)
- **Stapes** (stirrup)
These structures work together to facilitate hearing by transmitting sound vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear.
