Q

Fx of:

  • EAC
  • TM
  • Malleus, Incus, Stapes
  • Cochlea
A
  • acts as conduit of sound waves
  • changes sound waves into mechanical movement.
  • conducts sound to the oval window
  • sends pressure changes therefore endo/perilymph fluid moves along the cochlea stimulating cilia.

Q

How does air get warmed during ventilation
