outer ear structures a) incus bony labyrinth components b) auditory tube ossicles involved in sound amplification c) cochlea equilibrates atmospheric & middle ear pressures d) endolymph transmits sound to the ossicles external auditory canal contains the organ of Corti f) malleus nasopharynx → middle ear connector g) oval window contain receptors for equilibrium h) perilymph transfers vibrations from stapes → inner ear i) pinna fluid inside membranous labyrinth j) round window fluid within bony labyrinth k) semicircular canals fits into the oval window l) stapes m) tympanic membrane n) vestibule
