The auditory system is the sensory system responsible for the perception of sound. It includes the anatomical structures and pathways that allow us to detect, transmit, and interpret sound waves. The auditory system can be divided into several key components: 1. **Outer Ear**: This includes the pinna (the visible part of the ear) and the ear canal. The outer ear collects sound waves and directs them toward the eardrum.
