Cochlea:

The cochlea is the part of the inner ear concerned with hearing.

Tympanum:

The tympanum is the part of the external ear also known as the eardrum.

Pinna:

Pinna is the part of the external ear that collects the sound vibrations for hearing and transmits them to the middle ear and is further transmitted to the inner ear and then to the brain via auditory nerves.

Auditory canal:

The auditory canal is the part of the external ear that transmits the vibrations collected from the pinna to the eardrum.

Ear ossicles:

Ear ossicles are small bones in a chain form present in the air-filled tympanic cavity of the middle ear.

Hence, the terms in the correct sequence in the order of their arrangement are Pinna (external ear), Auditory canal (external ear)l, Tympanum (external ear), ear ossicles (middle ear), Cochlea (inner ear)
