Pinnae (gather sound and create micro level delays useful in sound location) 
Ear Canal (transmits sound waves to the inner ear) 
Eardrum (transmits mechanical energy to middle ear) 

Middle Ear 

Ossicles (amplification & limiting) 
Hammer  
Anvil 
Stirrup 

Inner Ear 

Cochlea (mechanical to electrical transduction) 
Basilar Membrane (frequency analysis) The basilar membrane responds to different frequencies with corresponding resonance points along its length.
