God's Creation :The Human Hear *oops* Ear~

-The Human ear is so amazing! God made sound waves and the ear so that they would work perfectly together. Each part of your ear's have a special job! When all the different parts work together, the ear is healthy. If even a single part of your ear is damaged or missing, you won't be able to hear normal or at all!
-Your ears are in charge of collecting the different sound waves, processing them, and sending sound signals to your brain. And that's not all - your ears also help you keep your balance. So if you bend over to pick up something, you won't fall down!
Your ear is made up of three different sections: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. These parts all work together so you can hear!

-The outer ear is called the pinna or auricle (or-ih-kul). This is the part of the ear that people can see.  The main job of the outer ear is to collect the sounds.
The outer ear also includes the ear canal, where wax is produced. Earwax is the stuff that protects the canal. Earwax contains chemicals that fight off infections that could hurt the skin inside your ear canal! It also collects dirt to help keep that ear canal clean. So earwax isn't just gross, it's gross and useful!

-After sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and make their way to the middle ear. The middle ear's main job is to take those sound waves and turn them into vibrations that are delivered to the inner ear. To do this, it needs the eardrum, which is a thin piece of skin stretched tight like a drum.

The eardrum separates the outer ear from the middle ear and the ossicles (say: ah-sih-kulz). What are ossicles? They are the three tiniest, most delicate bones in your body.

•the malleus (say: mah-lee-us), which is attached to the eardrum and means "hammer" in Latin



•the incus (say: in-kus), which is attached to the malleus and means "anvil" in Latin


•the stapes (say: stay-peez), the smallest bone in the body, which is attached to the incus and means "stirrup" in Latin


When sound waves reach the eardrum, they cause the eardrum to vibrate. When the eardrum vibrates, it moves the tiny ossicles — from the hammer to the anvil and then to the stirrup. These bones help sound move along on its journey into the inner ear.
Sound comes into the inner ear as vibrations and enters the cochlea (ko-klee-uh), a small, curled tube in the inner ear.The cochlea is filled with liquid, which is set into motion, like a wave, when the ossicles vibrate.

The cochlea is also lined with tiny cells covered in tiny hairs that are so small you would need a microscope to see them. They may be small, but they're awfully important! When sound reaches the cochlea, the vibrations (sound) cause the hairs on the cells to move, creating nerve signals that your brain understands as sound. The brain puts it together and hooray, You can hear!
Do you agree, that the ear is amazing? Praise God!!




~8 Neat Facts about your Ear~

*Fish do not have ears, but they can hear pressure changes through ridges on their body.

*The ear’s malleus, incus and stapes (otherwise known as the hammer, anvil and stirrup) are the smallest bones in the human body. All three together could fit together on a penny!

*The ear continues to hear sounds, even while you sleep.

*Sound travels at the speed of 1,130 feet per second, or 770 miles per hour.

*Dogs can hear much higher frequencies than humans.

*Sitting in front of the speakers at a concert can expose you to 120 decibels, which will begin to damage hearing in only 7 1/2 minutes.

*Thirty-seven percent of children with only minimal hearing loss fail at least one grade.

*Male mosquitoes hear with thousands of tiny hairs growing on their antennae.

 

Thats all for today!

Cheerios (o)

Have you ever been in a conference or at Church and watched parents giving their little kiddies Cheerios?
Maybe you remember your parents giving you Cheerios?

CHEERIOS:

Cheerios was the first mass-produced ready-to-eat breakfast cereal, arriving on the market in the 1940s and sold under the name Cherrioats.
In 1945 its official name became Cheerios, which it has stuck for more than 65 years.
In 1954, it became General Mills' most popular-selling cold cereal. The Honey Nut version of Cheerios was introduced in 1979.
 Lester Borchardt, an employee at General Mills, receives the credit for inventing Cheerios.
There are now 10 different flavors!!!!

Go have a handful of Cheerios and a wonderful day!
