Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pinna, also known as the auricle, is the visible part of the ear that projects from the side of the head and surrounds the ear canal. The external auditory canal is located within the pinna and leads to the eardrum (tympanic membrane), which separates the outer ear from the middle ear. The eustachian tube is a narrow passage that connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and throat, and helps equalize pressure within the ear.
