Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tympanic cavity and auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear, as shown in Figure 17-21. The external ear includes the visible part of the ear, the auricle, and the ear canal. The internal ear contains the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals. The term "temporal ear" is not commonly used and is not a correct anatomical term for any part of the ear. The vestibule of the ear is part of the internal ear, but it does not contain the tympanic cavity and auditory ossicles.
