The auditory, or eustachian, tube runs from the tympanic cavity to the throat and equalizes pressure across the eardrum. Which region contains it?
The auricle is the visible flexible cartilage that funnels sound waves toward the canal. Which region contains it?
The cochlea is a spiral, fluid-filled chamber that houses the sensory apparatus for hearing. Which region contains it?
A small air-filled cavity medial to the eardrum contains the malleus, incus, and stapes. Which region houses that cavity?

The vestibule contains the utricle and saccule, which monitor head position and straight-line acceleration. Which region contains it?
The semicircular canals loop from the vestibule and detect rotation of the head. Which region contains them?
A doctor sees fluid and pus trapped just behind a bulging eardrum. Which region of the ear is infected?
Ceruminous glands produce earwax in the canal that leads inward from the auricle. Which region contains those glands?
Which structure collects sound waves from outside the head and funnels them into the canal?
Which structure changes airborne sound waves into mechanical vibration at the end of the canal?
