Week #5

Today, I looked at an article all about the ear. It was really insightful and I got to read even more information about the ear and it's anatomy. In the article, the first two sections are about things we all know that was went over in class. It discussed about the three sections of the ear (outer, middle, inner) and next was about pitch and frequency. The next section that went into more depth is about the role our inner ear has to do with balance. Did you know that dizziness after spinning is caused by the fluid in our ears remaining on the little hairs on the side of the semicircular canals, making our brain think we're still spinning? I thought that was really neat. The next section is about hearing loss and all the different factor that can contribute to that. The final section is about earwax and how it protects the skin from drying out and keeps the ear canal clean. Here is the article: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321179.php
