DEVELOPMENT OF THE EAR Flashcards
The ear is divided into 3 parts:
- Internal ear
- Middle ear
- External ear
The inner ear Consists of
- bony labyrinth- _______, ______, _______
- membranous labyrinth- _____. _______, ______
- cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals
2. utricle, saccule and semicircular ducts
The inner ear Consists of:
- bony labyrinth: c__hlea, ve_tibule, and sem_circular canals
- membranous labyrinth:
u_ricle, sac_ule and sem_circular ducts
- cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals
2. utricle, saccule and semicircular ducts
The internal ear functions to convert sound waves into ___1___ impulses and registers changes in _________
- nerve
2. equilibrium
At about __ days (4 weeks) the ear begins developing as a thickening of the surface ectoderm on each side of the rhombencephalon (hind brain)
22 Days (4 weeks),
At about 22 days (4 weeks) the ear begins developing as a thickening of the surface ________ on each side of the rhombencephalon (hind brain)
ectoderm
At about 22 days (4 weeks) the ear begins developing as a thickening of the surface ectoderm on each side of the rhombencephalon (hind brain) The thickenings (otic pla_odes), invaginate rapidly and form the otic or auditory vesicles (otocysts).
otic placodes,
The Otic or Auditory Vessicles divide into:
- V_ntral Component
(forms saccule and cochlear duct) - D_rsal Component (forms Utricle, Semicircular canals and endolymphatic ducts)
- Ventral
2. Dorsal
Together these epithelial structures (Ventral and Dorsal components) form the primordial membranous laby__nth
labyrinth
Ventral Component
forms sa__ule and co__lear duct
saccule and cochlear duct
Dorsal Component forms Utr_cle, Se__circular canals and en__lymphatic ducts
Utricle, Semicircular canals and endolymphatic ducts
In the development of the internal ear
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
- Week 6- cochlear duct grows as a tubular outpocketing from the lower pole of saccule
- Cochlear duct spirals in the mesenchyme to make a complete 2.5 turn at week 8
- The mesenchyme differentiates into cartilages
- Its remains connected to the saccule by a narrow pathway, the ductus reuniens
- The lateral wall of the cochlear duct remains attached to the surrounding cartilage by the spiral ligament and median angle is connected to and partly supported by the modiolus, the future axis of the bony cochlea.
- Week 10- cartilaginous shell undergoes vacuolization to form two perilymphatic spaces (scala vestibuli and scala tympani)

Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
Week __- cartilaginous shell undergoes vacuolization to form two perilymphatic spaces (scala vestibuli and scala tympani)

Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
The vestibular membrane separates:
- the c_chlear duct
from
- the scala v_stibule
- cochlear duct
2. scala vestibule
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
The basilar membrane separates:
- the c_chlear duct
from
- the scala ty_pani
- cochlear duct
2. scala tympani
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
The internal ear reaches its adult size and shape by the middle of the fe_al period (20-22 weeks)
fetal period
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
The internal ear reaches its adult size and shape by the middle of the fetal period (__ - __ weeks)
20-22 weeks
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
Cells of the cochlear duct become the in_er ridge and the ou_er ridge.
inner ridge, outer ridge.
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
1 inner row and 3-4 outer rows of aud__ory sensory hair cells are formed from the o_ter ridge
sensory hair cells, outer ridge
One inner row and 3-4 outer rows of auditory sensory hair cells are formed from the outer ridge
They are covered by the tec__rial membrane
tectorial membrane
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
The sensory cells and tectorial membrane together constitute the organ of ___
Corti
Key things to NOTE on the Ventral saccular part of the otic vessicle:
Spiral ganglion of cochlea is formed from migration of ganglion cells of the ve__ibulocochlear nerve along the coils of the membranous cochlea
vestibulocochlear nerve
In the development of the internal ear
Key things to NOTE on the Dorsal utricular part of otic vesicle:
- At week 6- semicircular canals appear as flattened outpocketings of the utricular part
- Central portions of the walls of these outpocketings disappear and give rise to three semicircular canals
- One end of each canal (crus ampullare) dilates and the other (crus nonampullare) does not.
- Two crus nonampullare fuse to give only five crura entering the utricle (three with an ampulla and two without).
- Cells in the ampullae form a crest (crista ampullaris) which contains sensory cells for maintenance of equilibrium.
- Similar sensory cells are present in the utricle and saccule as maculae acusticae (maculae utriculi
and sacculi respectively) - The endolymphatic duct and sac is formed as a diverticulum growth from the vesicle, which elongates when the otic vesicle loses its connection with the surface ectoderm
Key things to NOTE on the Dorsal utricular part of otic vesicle:
At week _ - semicircular canals appear as fla__ened outpocketings of the utricular part
6, flattened outpocketings
