Q

How do we form the External Auditory Meatus?

A
  1. External acoustic meatus develops from dorsal part of 1st pharyngeal groove
  2. It. will begin to invagine inward -> and ectodermal cells proliferate, creating a meatal plug.
  3. Around 6 months, meatal plug will undergo apoptosis and form our external auditory meatus.

Q

How do we form our inner ear?

A
  1. Week 4: Otic placode (surface ectoderm) will form
  2. Will invaginate into underlying mesenchyme, forming the otic pit
  3. Edges of the pit fuse→ otic vesicle
  4. Otic vesicle will create the primordium of the membranous labyrinth. It has parts (dorsal and ventral part)
    1. will then coil to make vestibules, semicircular canals and cochlea.

Q

How does the ventral part of membranous labryrinth differentiate into products?

A
  1. Tail of ventral part of membranous labryrinth will curl to make cochlear duct
  2. Cochlear duct grows and coild to make the membranous cochlea
  3. Ductus reuniens will form to connect the cochlea to the vestibular aparatus (saccule, utricle and semicircular ducts.
22
Q

________ differentiates from cells in the wall of the cochlear duct.

How then, do we form the innervation to our inner ear?

A

Spiral organ/organ of corti

  • Ganglion cells of CN VIII (vestibulocochlear) migrate along the coils of membranous cochlea -> form spiral ganglion
  • Nerve processes extend to the -> basilar membrane -> spiral organ/organ of Corti, where they terminate on hair cells
23
Q

What nerve innervates our inner ear?

A

CN VIII (vestibulocochlear), which comes from vestibular ganglion & spiral ganglion.

24
Q

What cells is the vestibular ganglion from?

A

NCC and surface extroderm via the otic placode.

25
What cells is the **spiral (cochlear) ganglion** from?
**Surface ectoderm via otic placode**
26
What is perilymph from?
1. **Perilymphatic duct** 2. **Filtration of blood in perilymphatic space**
27
What is the **Perilymphatic duct?**
Perilymphatic duct is a free passage from subarachnoid space -\> inner ear. It is usually patent.
28
What is the difference between **perilymph and endolymph?**
* **Perilymph** has ion content to **CSF**: high Na, [low K and protein] * **Endolymph** has similar ion content to **intracellular fluid**: [High K and protein], low Na+
29
What **produces endolymph**? What s**tores endolymph**?
1. _Stria vasculari_ 2. _Endolymphatic sac_
30
Why is an infection of the middle ear bad?
1. Go through oval/round winder -\> inner ear -\> infection can go into the subarachnoid space and cause meningitis
31
What is the role of the bony. labyrthing?
Protexts the membranous labyrith
32
**How do we develop bony. labyritnth?**
* 1. Membranous labyrinth enlarges & vacuoles appear in the capsule * 2. Join & form perilymphatic space (semicircular ducts). * Now, the membranous labyrinth is surrounded by perilymph. * 3. Perilymphatic space divides, causing the otic vacuoles to form our scala tympani & scala vestibuli * 4. Carilagionous otic capsule ossifies, condensing the mesenchyme (mesoderm) -\> forms bony labryrinth, located in the petrous portion of temporal bone.
33
What suspends the cochlear duct?
**Spiral ligament**
34
Inner ear is is filled with hair cells. Where do they come from?
**Surface ectorderm** that arise in the otic vesicle.
35
Hair cells in ________ detect accerleration Hair cells in ________ detect gravity Hair cells in __________ detect sound vibration.
Hair cells in **ampullae** detect accerleration Hair cells in **macula of utricle and saccule** detect gravity Hair cells in **organ of corti d**etect sound vibration.
36
How do we form our middle ear?
1. Ectoderm from the 1st pharyngeal cleft/arch/cleft (formed our external auditory meatus) fuses with endoderm from 1st pharyngeal pouch (formed our tubotympanic recess) 2. Before these meet, in the middle of them is **mesoderm** forming our B.V to supply tympanic membrane. 3. Eventually, the endoderm from the 1st pharyngeal POUCH will form the typanic cavity 4. MEANWHILE; otic vesicle is makign the inner ear NEAR the ossicles
37
What. is tymapnic membrane derived from?
* **1. Ectoderm (external surface of TM)** * **2. Mesoderm** * **3. Endoderm (internal surface of TM)**
38
What tissue and arches arches do **malleus, incus and stapes** come from?
* Malleus and incus are from **1st arch NC.** * Stapes are from **2nd arch NC.**
39
What covers the ossicles?
**endodermal (Endoderm) epithelium**
40
**Tensor Tympani M** * Muscle inserts into the: * Cell type: * Axn: * Innervation
* Muscle inserts into the: **handle of malleus** * Cell type: **1st pharyngeal arch mesoderm** * Axn: **prevent damage from loud sounds** * Innervation: **CN 5**
41
**_Stapedius M_** ## Footnote Muscle inserts into the: Cell type: Axn: Innervation
Muscle inserts into the: **Neck of stapes** Cell type: **2nd pharyngeal arch mesoderm** Axn: **Prevent damage from loud sounds** Innervation: **CN 7**
42
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ear forms. independent of ______ and _____ ears
**INNER ear forms independently** of external and middle ear.
43
**Congenital deafness** can be associated. with what?
1. **Mostly genetic**; abnormal development of the sound-counducting sytem of the _middle and external ear._ For example 1. **first arch syndrome**: causes abnormalities of malleus and incus; often times will lack an auricle 2. **Congenital fixation of stapes** to the bony labyrinth 2. Rubella infection during _weeks 7-8 can cause defect of spiral organ_ -\> deafness.
44

A
45
The fibrous stratum of the tympanic membrane carries blood vessels and supporting tissue. This layer is derived from the: A. Endoderm of the first pharyngeal pouch B.
