A

jugular foramen

40
Q

jugular formane is partitioned into

A 
pars nervosa (posterior)
pars venosa (anterior)
by the jugular spine
41
Q

inferior surface of temporal bone is irregular because

A

presence of multiple muscle attachments

external aperture of the cochlear aqueduct

44
Q

enters the jugular foramen adjacent to the opening of the cochlear aqueduct

A

glossopharyngeal nerve

45
Q

important inferior limit of dissection to protect the lower cranial nerves in the translabyrinthine approach to the internal auditory canal

A

cochlear aqueduct

46
Q

cochlear aqueduct opens into what structure at the cochlear base

A

scala tympani

47
Q

occupies a dome shaped compartment located lateral to the pars venosa of jugular foramen, directly under the middle ear space

A

jugular bulb

48
Q

located directly anterior to the jugular bulb depression which is separated by a wedge shaped bone called the keel

A

inferior foramen of the carotid canal

49
Q

tympanic cannaliculus penetrates the keel to transmit sensory and prganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the inferior ganglion of the glossopharyngeal nerve into the middle ear as the

eagle syndrome

A

odynophagia, dysphagia, foreign body sensation in the throat

53
Q

eagle syndrome brought about by

A

elongation or angulation of the styloid process, as a result of compression of cranial nerves or the ica

petrotympanic suture line

57
Q

chorda tympani exits the ear through this structure

A

petrotympanic suture line

58
Q

this line serves as a land,ark for the main trunk of the facial nerve

A

tympanomastoid suture line, for,ed by the posterior edge of the tympanic ring which curves from the posterior eac inferiorly to within millimeters of the stylomastoid foramen
