Q

When does the mastoid process become pneumatized?

A

during year 1, filed with epithelial lined air spaces

33
Q

External auditory meatus forms from what arch

A

1st pharyngeal (forms plug during month 3 and dissolves during month 7)

35
Q

Auricle is formed from

A

mesenchyme from the 1-2nd pharyngeal arches (primarily 2)

36
Q

Auricle is formed how

A

from 6 swellings that fuse (primarily from arch 2)

37
Q

Congenital defects - deafness

A

genetic influences or illnesses during week 7/8 of ear development (rubella)

38
Q

Congenital defects - External ear deformities

A

normally due to chromosome abnormality (look for other signs)

39
Q

Bony labyrinth is made up of three parts

A

cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals

40
Q

Bony labyrinth is filled with

A

perilymph

41
Q

Cochlea

A

extends anteriorly from the vestibule wraps around the modiolus

42
Q

Modiolus houses

A

blood vessels and nerve processes of CN8

43
Q

Spiral limbus

A

bony ridge located on the surface of the modiolus and extends into the cochlea

44
Q

Vestibule houses the

A

saccula and utricle

45
Q

Semicircular canal

A

extends posteriorly form the vestibule and houses the semicircular ducts, oriented at 90 degrees, with an ampulla

46
Q

Membranous labyrinth is made up of

A

cochlear duct, saccule and utricle, and 3 semicircular ducts

47
Q

Specialized sensory reception of the membranous labyrinth

A

maculae of the saccule and utricle, cristae ampullari of the semicircular ducts, and organ of Corti of the cochlear duct

48
Q

utricle and saccule function

A

detect linear acceleration/deceleration

49
Q

Maculae of saccule and utricle orientation
