Di Amazing Stori bɔt Wi Yes (Ear Anatomy and Function) .

Tide wi go tɔk bɔt wan ɔgan we rili wɔndaful ɛn we rili impɔtant na wi bɔdi. Dat na wi yes. Jɔs tink bɔt aw wi kin du bɔku tin dɛn wit dɛn tu smɔl yes ya! Lisin to fayn fayn siŋ, tɔk to padi, yɛri di swit sawnd we bɔd de mek na mɔnin... Wi yes de ɛp wi wit ɔl dis. So, wetin de insay dɛn tu yes ya? Aw ɛksaktɔli dɛn de wok? Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt ɔl dis simpul wan, di we we yu go ɔndastand.

Wetin na tin we pɔsin kin it? Wetin i rili de du?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, di yes na ɔgan we de ɛp wi fɔ yɛri sawnd . Nɔto dat nɔmɔ, di yes de ɛp wi bak fɔ mek wi balans . Yu nɔ tink se i wɔndaful? Yɛs, wan impɔtant pat de insay di yes we de ɛp yu fɔ tinap stret we yu tinap, waka, ɛn rɔn. Fɔ du dɛn tu tin ya, dɛn kin sheb di yes to tri pat. Dɛn pat ya kin wok togɛda lɛk smɔl tim fɔ kech sawnd ɛn sɛn am to di bren. Naw, lɛ wi luk ɛni pat wan bay wan.

Tri pat dɛn de na di yes! Wi go luk am ditayli?

Wi yes gɛt tri pat mɔ. Dɛn na: 1. Ɔta Iya 2. Midul Iya 3. Insay Iya Ɛni wan pan dɛn pat ya gɛt wan patikyula wok.

1. Ɔta Iya: Na di fɔs get fɔ mek sawnd

Di yes we de na do na di pat pan di yes we wi kin si frɔm do. I gɛt bɔku men pat dɛn bak.

• Pinna ɔ Ɔrikl:

Dis na di pat na di yes we yu kin si ɛn tɔch. Dɛn mek am wit katilej ɛn wan sɔft tisu we dɛn kɔl katilej insay. Di ia drɔm gɛt wan rili spɛshal shep. I de wok lɛk fɛnɛl. Dat min se di men wok we di ia drɔm de du na fɔ gɛda di sawnd wev dɛn we de rawnd yu ɛn dayrɛkt dɛn insay di yes. Imajin, we pɔsin de tɔk to yu, i tan lɛk se i de rɛdi rod fɔ mek di sawnd go rayt insay yu yes.

• Iya Kanal ɔ Ɔditori Kanal:

di sawnd wev dεm we di ia dכm de kכlekt dεn de travul along di כditory kanal. Dis tan lɛk smɔl tiub. Dis tiub de dɔn na di ia drɔm. di spεshal gland dεm na di כditory kanal de mek wan tin we dεn kכl iawaks כ sεrumen .

Earwax nɔto jɔs wan kayn dɔti. I de gi big protɛkshɔn to wi yes. I de mek tin dɛn lɛk dɔst ɛn jem nɔ go insay di yes. I de mek bak di skin we de dray na di yes. Smɔl smɔl, di ia waks kin kɔmɔt na di yes fɔ insɛf. So , i nɔ fayn fɔ pik yu yes ɔltɛm.

• Eardrum (Eardrum ɔ `Tympanic Mɛmbran`):

na di εnd pan di כditory tכb na wan mεmbran we rili tכn. I tan lɛk di skin we de na drɔm. Dɛn kɔl dis di ia drɔm. We sawnd wev dɛn we kɔmɔt na do nak dis ia drɔm, i kin bigin fɔ shek . dis ia dram na di bכda bitwin di כta yes εn di midul yes.

2. Midul Iya: Na smɔl mashin we de mek sawnd big.

Na di ɔda say na di ia drɔm na di midul yes. I tan lɛk wan smɔl rum we ful-ɔp wit briz. di men wok we di midul ia de du na fכ amplify di vaybreshכn dεm we de kכmכt frכm di ia dכm εn sεnd dεm to di insay ia. Sɔm rili wɔndaful tin dɛn de ya we de ɛp fɔ du dis.

• Bɔn dɛn we de mek pɔsin yɛri (Ossicles): .

Dis na di tri smɔl smɔl bon dɛn na wi bɔdi. Dɛn na:

• Malleus (hama) we dɛn kɔl .
• Inkus (Anvil) we dɛn kɔl .
• Stapes (step dɛn) .

Dɛn tri bon ya kɔnɛkt to dɛnsɛf, ɛn dɛn de wok lɛk smɔl lev sistɛm. we di ia dram de shek shek, di tympanic membran de shayk fכs. frכm de, di vaybrεshכn de travul go na di כsikul dεm, εn frכm di כsikul dεm to di כrikl. As di vaybreshɔn de travul dis we, in trɛnk de go ɔp bad bad wan.

• Yustachian Tiub: .

Wan smɔl tiub de we de kɔnɛkt di midul yes to di bak pat na wi trot. Dɛn kɔl dis di ɔditɔri tyub. di men wok we i de du na fכ mek di briz prεshכn na di tu say dεm na di ia dכm ikwal. Imajin se we yu de klaym mawnten ɔ yu de flay insay plen, yu yes dɛn kin fil lɛk se i de lɔk. We wi yawn ɔ swɛla, da filin de nɔ de igen. Dɔn dis ɔditɔri tiub de opin, ɛn di prɛshɔn we de na di midul yes ikwal wit di prɛshɔn we de na do. Wan rizin we mek yɔŋ pikin dɛn kin gɛt infɛkshɔn na dɛn yes bɔku tɛm na bikɔs dɛn ɔditɔri tyub kin shɔt smɔl ɛn ɔrizɔntal, so i izi fɔ mek di jem dɛn we kɔmɔt na di trot go insay di midul yes.

3. Insay Iya: Na wok we rili kɔmpleks, we wɔndaful!

di amplified vaybreshכn dεm frכm di midul ia dεn de travul go na di insay ia. Dis na di pat we kɔmpleks pas ɔl na di yes. Tu men strɔkchɔ dɛn de ya: wan gɛt fɔ du wit fɔ yɛri, ɛn di ɔda wan gɛt fɔ du wit balans.

• Kɔklia: .

Dis na wan bɔdi we tan lɛk snɛl. I ful-ɔp wit wata. Dɔn bak, dɛn arenj bɔku bɔku fayn fayn ia sɛl dɛn insay row insay am. we di step dεm de shayk, dεn vaybreshכn dεm de travul tru di wata we de insay di kכklia. Dɔn dis wata kin muf, ɛn dɛn ia sɛl dɛn de kin bigin fɔ bɛn. I wɔndaful fɔ no se we dɛn ia sɛl dɛn ya bɛn, dɛn sawnd vaybreshɔn dɛn de kin chenj to ilɛktrik signal !

• Ɔditɔri Nɛv: .

Di ilɛktrik signal dɛn we dɛn ia sɛl dɛn de mek kin travul tru di ɔditory nerve to wi bren. Na di bren de analayz dɛn signal ya ɛn mek wi ɔndastand tin dɛn lɛk, "Oh, dis na siŋ," "Dis na Mama de tɔk," ɛn ɔda tin dɛn.

• Di sistem we de kɔntrol di balans (Vestibular System):

Di insay yes na di pat pan wi bɔdi we de kɔntrol wi balans bak. Dɛn kɔl dis di sɛmisɛkular kanal dɛn.Ɛn ɔda fayn fayn tin dɛn we dɛn mek na in yon. We yu de muv yu ed, we yu de muv yu bɔdi frɔm wan say to di ɔda say, dis sistɛm de no dɛn muvmɛnt dɛn de ɛn sɛn dɛn to di bren. Frɔm dɛn mɛsej dɛn de, di bren de kɔntrol di mɔsul dɛn na wi bɔdi ɛn mek wi nɔ fɔdɔm. If yu fil sɔmtɛm diziz (`(Vertigo)`), i kin bi bikɔs ɔf sɔm prɔblɛm wit di balans sistɛm na di insay yes.

Aw wi kin rili yɛri sawnd? Wan shɔt sɔmari

Naw we yu dɔn gɛt rɔf aydia bɔt di pat dɛn na di yes, lɛ wi luk aw wi de yɛri sawnd stɛp bay stɛp: 1. Sawnd wev dɛn de travul tru di ia drɔm (di tympanic membrane), we de shek shek . 3. dis vaybreshכn dεm de amplify as dεn de travul tru di tri sכm bon dεm na di midul ia (di כsikul dεm, di step dεm, εn di כrikl). 4. di amplified vaybreshכn dεm de go insay di kכklia (di insay ia). 5. di wata we de insay di kכklia de shayk, we de mek di ia sεl dεm bεnd. 6. We di ia sɛl dɛn bɛn, di sawnd we de shek shek kin chenj to ilɛktrik signal . 7. dis ilektrikal signal dεm de travul along di כditory nerve to di bren. 8. Di bren de intaprit dis signal dεm εn tεl wi wetin na di sawnd.

Yu nɔ tink se na wɔndaful tin we dɛn kin du? Ɔl dis kin apin insay smɔl sɛkɔn dɛn!

Prɔblɛm dɛn we kin apin na di yes we kin apin
