In this Video Lecture, Professor Fink reviews the basic anatomy of the Outer Ear, Middle Ear & Inner Ear and describes the physiology of Hearing, including Sound Waves ("pitch"), Amplification by the Ear Ossicles, Transduction by the Auditory (Cochlear) Receptors ("hair cells"), and the Neural Pathway for Hearing. Reference is made to the Tympanic Membrane (Ear Drum), Auditory Tubes (Eustachian Canals), Malleus, Incus, Stapes, Oval Window, the Cochlear Canal (Duct), Endolymph, the Vestibulocochlear Nerve (VIII), Cochlear Nucleus in the Medulla Oblongata, and the Primary Auditory Area (in the Temporal Lobe of the Cerebral Cortex).
