The organ of hearing; the external ear.          Note: In man and the higher vertebrates, the organ of hearing                is very complicated, and is divisible into three parts:                the external ear, which includes the pinna or auricle                and meatus or external opening; the middle ear, drum,                or tympanum; and the internal ear, or labyrinth. The                middle ear is a cavity connected by the Eustachian tube                with the pharynx, separated from the opening of the                external ear by the tympanic membrane, and containing a                chain of three small bones, or ossicles, named malleus,                incus, and stapes, which connect this membrane with the                internal ear. The essential part of the internal ear                where the fibers of the auditory nerve terminate, is                the membranous labyrinth, a complicated system of sacs                and tubes filled with a fluid (the endolymph), and                lodged in a cavity, called the bony labyrinth, in the                periotic bone. The membranous labyrinth does not                completely fill the bony labyrinth, but is partially                suspended in it in a fluid (the perilymph). The bony                labyrinth consists of a central cavity, the vestibule,                into which three semicircular canals and the canal of                the cochlea (spirally coiled in mammals) open. The                vestibular portion of the membranous labyrinth consists                of two sacs, the utriculus and sacculus, connected by a                narrow tube, into the former of which three membranous                semicircular canals open, while the latter is connected                with a membranous tube in the cochlea containing the                organ of Corti. By the help of the external ear the                sonorous vibrations of the air are concentrated upon                the tympanic membrane and set it vibrating, the chain                of bones in the middle ear transmits these vibrations                to the internal ear, where they cause certain delicate                structures in the organ of Corti, and other parts of                the membranous labyrinth, to stimulate the fibers of                the auditory nerve to transmit sonorous impulses to the                brain.          2.

Will \Will\, n. [OE. wille, AS. willa; akin to OFries. willa,       OS. willeo, willio, D. wil, G. wille, Icel. vili, Dan.       villie, Sw. vilja, Goth wilja. See {Will}, v.]       1. The power of choosing; the faculty or endowment of the             soul by which it is capable of choosing; the faculty or             power of the mind by which we decide to do or not to do;             the power or faculty of preferring or selecting one of two             or more objects.                         It is necessary to form a distinct notion of what is                      meant by the word [bd]volition[b8] in order to                      understand the import of the word will, for this                      last word expresses the power of mind of which                      [bd]volition[b8] is the act.               --Stewart.                         Will is an ambiguous word, being sometimes put for                      the faculty of willing; sometimes for the act of                      that faculty, besides [having] other meanings. But                      [bd]volition[b8] always signifies the act of                      willing, and nothing else.                  --Reid.                         Appetite is the will's solicitor, and the will is                      appetite's controller; what we covet according to                      the one, by the other we often reject. --Hooker.                         The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses                      anything.                                          --J. Edwards.          2. The choice which is made; a determination or preference             which results from the act or exercise of the power of             choice; a volition.                         The word [bd]will,[b8] however, is not always used                      in this its proper acceptation, but is frequently                      substituted for [bd]volition[b8], as when I say that                      my hand mover in obedience to my will. --Stewart.          3. The choice or determination of one who has authority; a             decree; a command; discretionary pleasure.                         Thy will be done.                              --Matt. vi.                                                                               10.                         Our prayers should be according to the will of God.                                                                               --Law.          4. Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.          Note: [bd]Inclination is another word with which will is                frequently confounded. Thus, when the apothecary says,                in Romeo and Juliet,                            My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . . Put                         this in any liquid thing you will, And drink it                         off. the word will is plainly used as, synonymous                with inclination; not in the strict logical sense, as                the immediate antecedent of action. It is with the same                latitude that the word is used in common conversation,                when we speak of doing a thing which duty prescribes,                against one's own will; or when we speak of doing a                thing willingly or unwillingly.[b8] --Stewart.          5. That which is strongly wished or desired.                         What's your will, good friar?            --Shak.                         The mariner hath his will.                  --Coleridge.          6. Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or             determine.                         Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies.                                                                               --Ps. xxvii.                                                                               12.          7. (Law) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the             manner in which he would have his property or estate             disposed of after his death; the written instrument,             legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his             estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise.             See the Note under {Testament}, 1.          Note: Wills are written or nuncupative, that is, oral. See                {Nuncupative will}, under {Nuncupative}.          {At will} (Law), at pleasure. To hold an estate at the will             of another, is to enjoy the possession at his pleasure,             and be liable to be ousted at any time by the lessor or             proprietor. An estate at will is at the will of both             parties.          {Good will}. See under {Good}.          {Ill will}, enmity; unfriendliness; malevolence.          {To have one's will}, to obtain what is desired; to do what             one pleases.          {Will worship}, worship according to the dictates of the will             or fancy; formal worship. [Obs.]          {Will worshiper}, one who offers will worship. [Obs.] --Jer.             Taylor.          {With a will}, with willingness and zeal; with all one's             heart or strength; earnestly; heartily.
