Ears
This term refers to the entire structure of the outer ear
Auricle
This term describes the opening to the eardrum (the hole in your external ear)
Auditory Canal / Auditory Meatus
This assistive hearing device receives sound from the outside environment and processes it, sending small electrical currents near the auditory nerve which is perceived as "hearing"
Cochlear Implants
This opening in the middle tunic of the eye adjusts by dilating or contracting to let light enter the eye
Pupil
This is where nerve fibers leave the eye, creating a blind spot in your vision
Optic Disc
This structure of the inner ear is responsible for your sense of hearing and houses stereocilia
Cochlea
The malleus, incus, and stapes compose what term that is responsible for transmitting vibrations and amplifying the signal?
Auditory Ossicles
Trivia! The smallest bone in your body is found in the ear. What is it's name?
Stapes
Together, these two structures of the inner tunic of the eye are responsible for color vision and monochromatic vision.
Bonus: Which structure is responsible for which?

Auriculares
This is the liquid surrounding the lens
aqueous humor
This structure of the middle tunic of the eye supports and holds the lens in place
Ciliary Body
This accessory organ produces tears which can drain into the nasal cavity.
lacrimal glands
This transparent dome of the outer tunic of the eye focuses the light
Cornea
This structure of the inner tunic of the eye houses the visual receptor cells (rods + cones) coating the back inner chamber of the eye
Retina
