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.
All rights reserved. The ear has external, middle, and inner portions. The outer ear is called the pinna and is made of ridged cartilage covered by skin. Sound funnels through the pinna into the external auditory canal, a short tube that ends at the eardrum (tympanic membrane).ound causes the eardrum and its tiny attached bones in the middle portion of the ear to vibrate, and the vibrations are conducted to the nearby cochlea. The spiral-shaped cochlea is part of the inner ear; it transforms sound into nerve impulses that travel to the brain.
