The hearing and equilibrium system of the body. It consists of three parts: the EXTERNAL
EAR, the MIDDLE EAR, and the INNER EAR. Sound waves are transmitted through this organ
where vibration is transduced to nerve signals that pass through the ACOUSTIC NERVE
to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that
maintains equilibrium by transducing signals to the VESTIBULAR NERVE
