Ear


Description

The ear is the organ that detects sound. It is part of the auditory system. The word "ear" may be used correctly to describe the entire organ or just the visible portion called pinna.The shape of outer ear of mammals varies widely across species. However the inner workings of mammalian ears (including humans') are very similar. It also plays a major role in the sense of balance and body position.
