Tympanum (zoology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Tympanum.
The tympanum is an external hearing structure in frogs and toads, located just behind the eye. It does not actually process sound waves; it simply transmits them to the amphibian's inner ear, which is protected from water and other foreign objects.
