Ear and Hear

 

Ear and Hear

SOUND WAVES TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR and are picked up by your ears. Your ear flap funnels sounds through a tube called the ear canal. The sound reaches the eardrum. It vibrates the eardrum. As the eardrum vibrates, it rattles three little bones called ossicles. They knock against the 'cochlea' deep inside the ear. The cochlea is filled with fluid, and as it is knocked, waves run through the fluid. The waves waggle the hairs attached to nerves. The waggling of the hairs tells  your brain about the sound.

Inside the ear


The flap of the skin on the side of your head is only the entrance to the real ear. Inside are all the complex mechanisms of the middle ear, designed to pick up the faintest vibrations in the air and amplify them enough for the hearing nerve to respond to.

Why have you got two ears?

You have two ears so that you can tell which direction a sound is coming from, You Can pinpoint sound because a Sound to the left of you is slightly louder in your left ear than in the right ear, and vice versa.

What is earwax?

Earwax is a yellow-brown waxy Substance made in the glands lining the ear canal. its purpose is to trap dirt and germs and prevent them from getting into the inner ear.

Why do ears pop?

When going up or down in a plane, the air pressure may change before the air inside your ears can adjust. The popping is when the pressure evens out again.

Inside the cochlea


The vibrations of a sound are amplified (made much bigger) by the time they reach the cochlea of the inner ear, but they are still very tiny so inside the cochlea is a remarkably sensitive flap which moves with waves in the cochlea mechanism which picks up every slight movement of the fluid.

How is sound measured?

Sound is measured in decibels These go up geometrically, i.e., three decibels is twice as loud as two and four twice as loud as three, and so on.

How loud is a pin dropping?

About fen decibels-just about the quietest sound you can hear. A whisper is about 20 decibels. Some animals hear even quieter sounds.

How loud is a jet?

A jet engine is about 140 decibels. This kind of noise is genuinely painful to the ears. It can do a lasting damage. Any continuous sound over 90 decibels can be damaging.

How do your ears help you balance?


Next to the cochlea are three tiny fluid-filled rings called semicircular canals. They detect the tiny movements your brain is making, telling you when you are tilting one way or the other, as the fluid moves inside the canal.     

What are the ossicles?

The ossicles are three tiny linked bones in the middle ear. They are the hammer or malleus, anvil or incus and stirrup or stapes.

Ossicles


Sounds are transmitted through the middle ear by the tiny ossicles. The hammer bangs against the anvil like a blacksmith's hammer. The stirrup gets its name because it is shaped like a rider's stirrup.

Tiny Wonders / Atom

Tiny Wonders What is an Atom?   ATOMS ARE THE VERY SMALL BITS or particles of the thing of which any substance is made. They are too small to be seen. Two billion atoms would fit on the dot that is on the top of this 'i'. Scientists earlier thought atoms were the tiniest things in the universe, like hard balls that could never be split or destroyed. But now, they know that atoms are more like clouds of energy, mostly empty space, containing even tinier sub-atomic' particles. Inside an atom At the center of every atom, there is a dense core or 'nucleus' having two kinds of tiny particles protons and neutrons. Around the nucleus, there are even tinier particles called electrons that move around at the speed of light. Size of atoms Atoms weigh about 100 trillionths of a trillionth of a gram and are about a ten-millionth of a millimeter big. The smallest atoms are the hydrogen atoms. Helium nucleus One of the smallest nuclei of an atom is that of an at...

Earth-the Wonder Planet

Earth-the Wonder Planet What is Earth? The earth is one of the eight planets that continually revolve around the sun. The planets and the Sun make our solar system. The Earth is the third planet out from the Sun, located between Venus and Mars. The Earth is a sphere made largely of rock. Two-thirds of the surface is covered by water. It is the only planet with oxygen in its atmosphere. The presence of water and oxygen is what makes the Earth a suitable planet for the existence of life. How did the Earth begin?   The Earth was a clouds of gases and dust that circled around the sun about four and a half billion years ago. Then the clouds of gas started to condense and thus formed trillions of small beads. These beads then started to clump together as a single mass due to gravity. This mass is now we live on. Thus the Earth was just a ball of fire a long ago and later it got its hard crust and atmosphere due to gradual Cooling. How were the planets formed?   No-one is absolutely ...
