Auricle
plate of elastic cartilage covered with skin
1/3 of external auditory meatus is
cartilagenous outer
2/3 external auditory meatus
temporal bone
skin that lines the temporal section of external ear
keratinized stratified squamous
What produces earwax
ceruminous glands
tympanic membrane is covered with what cell type
simple cubodial, with elastic CT
What does tympanic membrane do
transmit sound wave to ossicles
middle ear communicate with the pharynx thru
eustachian tube or auditory tube
and mastoid air cell
What does the eustachian tube do and the cell type
opens during swallowing equalize pressure; psuedo str. columunar
Name ossicles in order
malleus, incus, stapes
what cells cover the ossicle
simple squamous
how is sound wave transmitted in the middle ear
tympanic membrane, malleus, incus, stapes, oval window
Middle Ear lined with cell type
simple cuboidal
two membrane covered window
oval and round
sound guards
two muscle inserted into malleus and stapes
Internal ear function
sense sounds vibration and head position
Vestibule is in what part of the ear
internal ear
vestibule contains what two structure
sacule an utricle
cochlea is in what part of the ear
inter ear
Internal ear contain what three structure
semicircular ducts, cochlea and vestibule
Conchlea contain what nerve
CN 8
how many turns does the conchlea make
2.5
saccule and utricle contain what cell
simple squamous
The floor of saccule and lateral wall contain what and nerve
maculae innervated CN8
What two type of cells unique to the macula
Type I and II receptor hair cell
what covers the macula
40-80 microvilli and long cilium
gelatinous glycoprotein and calcium carbonate crystal (otolith)
macula is sensitive to what
linear acceleration and head position
in the semicircular duct a ridge like receptor area perpendicular to the long axis
ampulla
cristae ampullaris has a conical gelatinous layer called
cupula
fluid in the semicircular ducts flow due to the inertia of
endolymph
how is the action potential tigger in the vestibular
cupula move over crista ampullaris bending stereocilia
how is the head position sensed in the vestibular
displacement of otolith according to gravity and deformation of steriocilia
what does the vestibular sense
acceleration and deceleration and head postion
what are the three canals of the cochlea
scala vestibuli, scala media, scala tympani
which canal of the cochlear duct contain endolymph
scala media
which canal of the cochlear contain perilymph
scala vestibuli and tympani
what structure is called the cochlear duct
scala media
what is the name of the membrane in the cochlear duct
Reissner's membrane
What lines the vestibular (reissner) membrane
two layers of squmous ep.
Where is the vestibular (reissner) membrane
cochlear duct
lateral wall is of cochlear duct
stria vascularis
what is believed to symthesize endolymph
stria vascularis
on the floor of cochlear duct
organ of corti
what has specialized auditory epithelium
organ of corti
cilium or steriocilia in the organ of corti
steriocilia outer (3-5) rows inner (1 row) embedded in the tectorial membrane
sound traveling thru the internal ear
tympanic -> malleus -> incus -> stapes -> oval window -> perilymph -> vestibular and basilar membranes -> shearing steriocila -> tectorial membrane -> action ptential
