Hi! Do you still need help @Barnyard_Pimp?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay we're going to eliminate each choice one by one! Let's start with the first one: Chochlea Read this link and tell me if you think the OUTER ear consists of this organ ↓ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlea

OpenStudy (barnyard_pimp):

okay so which are we gonna start with ?

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

The outer ear includes: auricle (cartilage covered by skin placed on opposite sides of the head) auditory canal (also called the ear canal) eardrum outer layer (also called the tympanic membrane)

OpenStudy (barnyard_pimp):

so which is it ?

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

@AMYCARTER I didn't mean to cut you off :/

I can't give you the answer @Barnyard_Pimp, I'm going to GUIDE you to the answer. Read the code of conduct :) http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

And it's fine @Love_Ranaa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do you have your answer now @Barnyard_Pimp?

OpenStudy (barnyard_pimp):

ummmm.........auricle ? @AMYCARTER

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's correct @Barnyard_Pimp good job :)

OpenStudy (barnyard_pimp):

is that the only answer tho ? or is there two answers to that question ? @AMYCARTER

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, I know that Chochlea is NOT a right answer. If you read the link I posted earlier you'll see that I'm right. Now lateral.....I think that is a type of surgery for the outer ear. Correct me if I'm wrong. The Auditory canal is a tube running from the OUTER ear to the middle ear so that may be a choice. The Eustachian tube is a narrow tube that connects the space behind the eardrum (the middle ear) with the back of the nose. In adults it is about 3-4 cm long. The middle ear is normally filled with air, so what do you think for that one? I think The Eustachian tube would NOT be a correct answer.
