Please label the following

Transcribed Image Text:The image is a detailed anatomical diagram of the human ear, illustrating various components involved in the auditory system. The ear is divided into different sections, with detailed labeling of each part.
### Labels:
1. **External Structures:**
- External Auditory Meatus (the ear canal)
- Auricle (Pinna)
2. **Middle Ear Structures:**
- Incus (anvil)
- Malleus (hammer)
- Stapes (stirrup)
3. **Inner Ear Structures:**
- Cochlea (2 places)
- Cochlear Duct
- Basilar Membrane (2 places)
- Vestibular Membrane
- Organ of Corti (Spiral organ)
- Reticular Lamina
- Rods of Corti
- Scalia Media
4. **Special Structures:**
- Vestibular Nerve (2 places)
- Vestibular Membrane
- Vestibule
- Semicircular Canals (2 places)
- Membranous Labyrinth
5. **Windows:**
- Oval Window (Fenestra vestibuli)
- Round Window (2 places) (Fenestrate cochlea)
6. **Spaces:**
- Scalia tympani
- Scalia vestibuli
7. **Additional Components:**
- Tectorial Membrane
- Tympanic Membrane
- Hair Cells (inner and outer)
- Auditory Tube (Eustachian tube)
- Cochlear Nerve Fibers (4 places)
### Diagram Layout:
- **Diagram A:** Shows the outer structure of the ear and the entrance to the ear canal.
- **Diagram B:** Focuses on the middle ear, illustrating the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) and their positions relative to the tympanic membrane.
- **Diagram C:** Provides an internal view of the cochlea, highlighting the spiral shape and the arrangement of membranes and chambers within.
- **Diagram D:** Displays a detailed section of the cochlea featuring the Organ of Corti and associated structures such as hair cells.
This diagram is helpful for understanding how sound waves are transmitted through the ear's structures and how auditory signals are processed.
