The Outer Ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna (the part we can see), and the ear canal down to the eardrum. This part of the ear has several functions relating to hearing. The pinna acts like a funnel; it collects sounds and directs them down our ear canal.
Not to be confused with the secondary tympanic membrane of the round window. In human anatomy, the eardrum, or tympanic membrane, is a thin, cone-shaped membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear in humans and other tetrapods.Its function is to transmit sound from the air to the ossicles inside the middle ear, and then to the oval window in the fluid-filled cochlea.Hence, it ultimately converts and amplifies vibration in air to vibration in fluid. The malleus bone bridges the gap between the eardrum and the other ossicles.he pars tensa forms most of the tympanic membrane. Its periphery is thickened to form a fibrocartilaginous ring called the anulus tympanicus. The central part of the pars tensa is tented inwards at the level of the tip of malleus and is called the umbo.
