7.2 Systems in the NS, Sensory II - AUDITORY and VESTIBULAR SYSTEMS and Lower Cranial Nerves Flashcards
INNER EAR / LABYRINTH is within what PART of the TEMPORAL BONE
PETROUS part of Temporal Bone
(same as Middle Ear)
the INNER EAR / LABYRINTH is LATERAL to the..
INTERNAL ACOUSTIC MEATUS
What ORGANS does the INNER EAR / LABYRINTH HOUSE
VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR Organs
what does the INNER EAR CONVERT
MECHANICAL SIGNALS FROM the MIDDLE EAR
into ELECTRICAL SIGNALS TO the BRAIN
(by causing release of Neurotransmitter)
what is the INNER EAR / LABYRINTH VITAL for
BALANCE
by DETECTING POSITION & MOTION
INNER EAR consists of BONY LABYRINTH and MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTH.
What does BONY LABYRINTH Consist of
VESTIBULE (ENTRANCE)
3 SEMICIRCULAR CANALS (POSTERIOR, ANTERIOR, LATERAL)
COCHLEA
BONY CAVITIES of the BONY LABYRINTH are LINED BY..
PERIOSTEUM
BONY LABYRINTH CONTAINS a CLEAR FLUID called
PERILYMPH
VESTIBULE is the ENTRANCE to the INNER EAR with the … at its LATERAL WALL
OVAL WINDOW (FENSTRA VESTIBULI)
VESTIBULE is the ENTRANCE / CENTRE PART of BONY LABYRINTH which ALLOWS…
COMMUNICATION
with the SEMICIRCULAR CANALS (SUPERIORLY) and the COCHLEAR (ANTERIORLY)
MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTH is a CONTINUOUS SYSTEM of…
DUCTS
DUCTS in MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTH are FILLED WITH…
ENDOLYMPH
MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTH is BETWEEN which 2 FLUIDS
(inside:
surrounding:)
ENDOLYMPH inside
and outside SURROUNDING it is the PERILYMPH of the BONY LABYRINTH
MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTH is COMPOSED of…
SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS (inside semicircular canals - bony)
Otolith organs:
SACCULE
UTRICLE
COCHLEAR DUCT (inside cochlear - bony)
what is PERILYMPH LINED BY
PERIOSTEUM
- BONY LABYRINTH
SEMICIRCULAR CANALS (Bony) PROJECT in what DIRECTION from the VESTIBULE
POSTEROSUPERIOR
how is VESTIBULE in RELATION to the SEMICIRCULAR CANALS (direction)
ANTEROINFERIOR
as the Semicircular Canals Project Posterosuperiorly from the vestibule
the SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS, UTRICLE, SACCULE are all RESPONSIBLE FOR…
BALANCE
- VESTIBULAR APPARATUS that signal to VESTIBULAR NERVE
How do SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS know that the HEAD is MOVING (feature)
they are each Situated in DIFFERENT PLANES
(so feedback from one duct to the brain will allow brain to recognise which plane is stimulated)
what is the name of the SWELLING at one END of each SEMICIRCULAR DUCT that allows for CONVERSION of the SIGNAL
AMPULLA
How does the AMPULLA of a SEMICIRCULAR DUCT SEND INFORMTATION to the BRAIN about the PLANE of MOVEMENT (which ampulla is stimulated)
- MOVEMENT OF ENDOLYMPH (WAVE) causes MOVEMENT OF STEREOCILIA on HAIR CELLS
Hair cells are stimulated
and STIMULATES RELEASE of NEUROTRANSMITTER to send chemical signal to the brain
how are SEMICIRCULAR CANALS/DUCTS SAT in RELATION to each other
AT RIGHT ANGLES
therefore in different planes
how do the AMPULLAS of SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS cause RELEASE of NEUROTRANSMITTER to signal to the brain
(Convert mechanical signal into chemical / electrical signal)
by MOVEMENT of the STEROCILIA on the Hair Cells
due to movement of the ENDOLYMPH
what are the OTOLITH ORGANS and what do they do
UTRICLE & SACCULE
detect FORWARD & BACKWARDS MOVEMENTS
detect GRAVITATIONAL FORCES
which OTOLITH ORGAN detects VERTICAL MOVEMENT
SACCULE
which OTOLITH ORGAN detects HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
UTRICLE
what do OTOLITH ORGANS have on top that cause MOVEMENT of STEREOCILIA for RELEASE of NEUROTRANSMITTER
OTOCONIA
MOVEMENT of OTOCONIA causes MOVEMENT of STEREOCILIA of hair cells
