The membrane at the inner end of the external auditory meatus leading from the outer ear, which vibrates with sound and passes the vibrations on to the ossicles in the middle ear.<\/p>\n

Thin, semitransparent membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they cause the membrane to vibrate; these vibrations are transmitted through the three ossicles (small bones) of the middle ear to the inner ear and the main organ of hearing (the organ of Corti).

A structure that is a thick but pliable tissue that registers sound and causes vibrations to be transmitted to the inner ear; also known as the eardrum.<\/p>\n

The membrane at the inner end of the external auditory meatus, separating the outer and middle ears. It is formed from the outer wall of the\u00a0lining of the tympanic cavity and the skin\u00a0that lines the external auditory meatus. When sound waves reach the ear the tympanum vibrates, transmitting these vibrations to the malleus (one of the auditory ossicles in the middle ear), to which it is attached.<\/p>\n

The eardrum, an exceedingly delicate membrane, serves as a slender disk-like barrier, demarcating the external auditory canal from the intricate realm of the middle ear.<\/p>\n

A delicate membrane stretched across the ear canal that divides the outer ear from the middle ear, commonly known as the eardrum.<\/p>\n
