Label of the ear worksheet - Free Printable

To solve this diagram, we need to match the parts of the human ear with their correct labels. Let’s go step by step from the outside in.

1. The outermost visible part of the ear — that’s the Pinna. It collects sound waves.
2. The tube leading inward from the pinna — that’s the Ear canal.
3. At the end of the ear canal is a thin membrane — that’s the Ear drum (tympanic membrane).
4. Behind the ear drum are three tiny bones:
- First bone attached to the ear drum: Malleus/Hammer
- Middle bone: Incus/Anvil
- Last bone before the inner ear: Stapes/Stirrup
5. After the stapes, we enter the inner ear:
- The snail-shaped structure: Cochlea (hearing)
- The looped structures above it: Semi-circular canals (balance)
6. The nerve carrying signals to the brain: Auditory nerve

Now let’s assign each blank box based on its position in the diagram:

Starting from left side (outer ear):

- Top-left box pointing to the outer flap → Pinna
- Bottom-left box pointing to the tube → Ear canal
- Box below that, pointing to the membrane at end of tube → Ear drum

Middle section (middle ear bones):

- Box pointing to first bone after ear drum → Malleus/Hammer
- Box pointing to middle bone → Incus/Anvil
- Box pointing to last bone → Stapes/Stirrup

Inner ear:

- Box pointing to snail shape → Cochlea
- Box pointing to loops above cochlea → Semi-circular canals
- Box pointing to the yellow nerve bundle exiting cochlea → Auditory nerve

There’s also one more box near the top center — likely pointing to the area between middle and inner ear or perhaps the oval window? But looking at standard diagrams, the remaining label not yet placed is... wait — we have 9 labels and 9 boxes.

Let me list all labels again:

Given labels:
- Semi-circular canals
- Pinna
- Cochlea
- Incus/Anvil
- Ear canal
- Malleus/Hammer
- Auditory nerve
- Stapes/Stirrup
- Ear drum

That’s 9 items. Diagram has 9 blank boxes.

Assigning by location (left to right, top to bottom as typically drawn):

Left column (outer ear):
→ Top box: Pinna
→ Middle box: Ear canal
→ Bottom box: Ear drum

Middle column (ossicles + connections):
→ Top box (above malleus): probably nothing? Wait — actually, looking at typical layout:

Actually, better to trace lines:

From diagram description (standard anatomy):

Box positions (approximate):

1. Leftmost top → points to outer ear flap → Pinna
2. Leftmost bottom → points to ear canal opening → Ear canal
3. Below that → points to eardrum → Ear drum
4. Center-top → points to hammer → Malleus/Hammer
5. Center-middle → points to anvil → Incus/Anvil
6. Center-bottom → points to stirrup → Stapes/Stirrup
7. Right-top → points to semi-circular canals → Semi-circular canals
8. Right-middle → points to cochlea → Cochlea
9. Right-bottom → points to auditory nerve → Auditory nerve

Wait — there’s also a box near the top center that might be pointing to the Eustachian tube? But that’s not in the label list. So no — all labels are accounted for.

Actually, rechecking: the diagram likely has:

Top row boxes (from left to right):
- One over pinna → Pinna
- One over ossicles area → maybe Malleus?
But better to think spatially.

Standard labeling order for such diagrams:

Outer ear:
- Pinna (external)
- Ear canal
- Tympanic membrane (ear drum)

Middle ear:
- Malleus
- Incus
- Stapes

Inner ear:
- Cochlea
- Semi-circular canals
- Auditory nerve

So matching boxes:

Assume the diagram has:

Left side (vertical):
Top box → Pinna
Middle box → Ear canal
Bottom box → Ear drum

Center (horizontal across ossicles):
Left-center box → Malleus/Hammer
Middle-center box → Incus/Anvil
Right-center box → Stapes/Stirrup

Right side (inner ear):
Top-right box → Semi-circular canals
Middle-right box → Cochlea
Bottom-right box → Auditory nerve

Yes — that fits.

Final Answer:

Pinna
Ear canal
Ear drum
Malleus/Hammer
Incus/Anvil
Stapes/Stirrup
Semi-circular canals
Cochlea
Auditory nerve

But since the question doesn’t specify which box is which numerically, and the user just wants the solution filled in, I’ll provide the labels in the order they appear when tracing the diagram logically from outside in, left to right, top to bottom as commonly presented.

However, without seeing exact arrow positions, safest is to list them as per standard anatomical flow.

But since this is a worksheet, and the student needs to fill blanks, I’ll give the answers corresponding to typical placement.

Actually — looking back at the original image description (even though I shouldn't describe), the system says “solve the problem accurately” — so I must infer correct mapping.

Alternative approach: count boxes and match.

Diagram has 9 empty rectangles. Labels provided: 9 terms.

Correct assignment based on universal ear diagram:

1. Outermost curved part → Pinna
2. Tube going inward → Ear canal
3. Membrane at end of tube → Ear drum
4. Bone attached to ear drum → Malleus/Hammer
5. Bone connected to malleus → Incus/Anvil
6. Bone connected to incus → Stapes/Stirrup
7. Snail shell structure → Cochlea
8. Loops above cochlea → Semi-circular canals
9. Nerve leaving cochlea → Auditory nerve

In most worksheets, the boxes are arranged roughly:

Left column (3 boxes): Pinna, Ear canal, Ear drum
Middle column (3 boxes): Malleus, Incus, Stapes
Right column (3 boxes): Semi-circular canals, Cochlea, Auditory nerve

Sometimes top row has some too — but given the layout described ("semi-circular canals" listed first in key, etc.), likely the right-side boxes correspond to inner ear.

I think the intended answer is to write the correct term next to each pointer.

Since I can’t see arrows, I’ll assume standard positioning.

Final decision: Provide the labels in the order that matches common textbook diagrams from left to right, outer to inner.

But to be precise — let's simulate filling:

Imagine the diagram:

- Far left: two boxes vertically aligned on the outer ear → top = Pinna, bottom = Ear canal? No — usually Pinna is labeled on the flap, Ear canal on the passage.

Actually, upon second thought — many diagrams place:

Box 1 (top left): Pinna
Box 2 (below it): Ear canal
Box 3 (further down/left): Ear drum
Box 4 (center top): Malleus
Box 5 (center): Incus
Box 6 (center bottom): Stapes
Box 7 (right top): Semi-circular canals
Box 8 (right middle): Cochlea
Box 9 (right bottom): Auditory nerve

Yes.

So final answer should be those nine terms assigned accordingly.

But since the user didn’t ask for explanation, only final answer — and format requires Final Answer section — I’ll list them in the order they would be filled if reading the diagram left to right, top to bottom.

However, to avoid confusion, perhaps best to present as a matched pair? But instructions say "provide only the final correct answer".

Looking at similar worksheets online, the expected output is to write the correct label in each blank.

Since I can’t indicate which blank is which, I’ll assume the student will match based on position.

But the instruction is clear: “Provide only the final correct answer”

Perhaps list all labels in correct anatomical sequence? Or as per diagram flow.

I recall that in LiveWorksheets, often the blanks are numbered implicitly by position.

Given constraints, I'll provide the answer as a comma-separated list in the order: outer to inner, left to right.

Final Answer:

Pinna, Ear canal, Ear drum, Malleus/Hammer, Incus/Anvil, Stapes/Stirrup, Semi-circular canals, Cochlea, Auditory nerve
