| 설명 | 귀는 오감의 하나인 청각을 받아들여 소리를 듣고, 회화를 이해하는 중요한 생활정보의 입력 장소이다. 신체의 평형감각을 담당하는 중요한 전정, 반고리관이 있어서 인간이 일상생활을 영위하는 데에 매우 중요한 기능을 하는 곳이다. 어떤 이유로 이들 기능이 떨어지면 난청이나 귀울음, 또는 현기증, 비틀거림 등의 평형장애가 나타나고, 심각한 정보장애가 일어나므로 충분한 주의가 필요하다. 귀는 크게 바깥귀, 가운데귀, 속귀의 3부분으로 나누는데 바깥귀라고 하는 것은 소리를 고막까지 전달하는 외이도부분을 말한다. 그리고 중이란 고막에서 내이 사이의 공간으로 여기에는 고막의 진동을 소리를 느끼는 달팽이(cochlea)까지 전달해 주는 작은 뼈인 3개의 귓속뼈(ossicle)이 있는 곳이다. 속귀란 소리를 직접 느끼는 기관인 달팽이, 평행감각을 담당하는 반고리관, 구형낭(saccule), 타원낭(utricle)이 있는 곳을 말한다. |
