Ch. 18 Lec 3 - General & Special Senses Flashcards
three ossicles
malleus, incus, stapes
bones in the middle ear that transfer vibrations from the tympanic membrane to inner ear
ossicles
middle ear muscle that inserts on the malleus
tensor tympani
middle ear muscle that inserts on the stapes
stapedius
part of ear that is a series of tubes and cavities
inner ear
two sections of the inner ear
vestibule (balance), cochlea (hearing)
inner ear layer that contains endolymph fluid
membranous labyrinth
inner ear layer that is the dense bone layer of the temporal and contains perilymph fluid
bony (osseous) labyrinth
structure that converts vibrations to sound
cochlea
cochlea contacts the stapes at the blank
oval window
three ducts of the cochlea
scala vestibuli, scala media, scala tympani
scala vestibuli is divided by the blank
vestibular membrane
scala media is divided by the blank
basilar membrane
organ of corti is found on the blank
basilar membrane
three parts of the organ of corti
hair cells, cranial nerve 8, tectorial membrane
mechanoreceptors with stereocilia in the organ of corti
hair cells
cochlear branch contacts hair cells in the organ of corti
cranial nerve 8
positioned right above hair cell stereocilia in the organ of corti
tectorial membrane
when the oval window vibrates, the blank moves
perilymph
the cochlear branch of blank carries auditory sensations
cranial nerve 8
auditory sensations go to the blank, then travels to through the blank, then is processed in the blank
medulla, thalamus, auditory cortex of temporal lobe
high sounds are detected by blank parts of cochlea
large
low sounds are detected by blank parts of cochlea
small
three parts of the vestibule
semicircular canals, utricle, saccule
the semicircular canals surround the semicircular blank
ducts
semicircular canals have a blank at base
ampulla
each ampulla has a blank which attaches to a cupula
cristae
a blank is in the utricle/saccule
maculae
