E2 auditory and vestibulatr Flashcards
frequency
number of cycles per second
pitch
20 to 20kHz
cycle
1 compression and 1 rarefaction
amplitude
loundess of sound
measure of pressure difference from peak compression to rarefaction
external ear
aurical/pinnna
external auditory canal
tympanic membrane
middle ear
3 osscile - malleus, inucs, stapes
auditory/eustachian tube to throat
inner ear
cochlea
vestibule
semicicular canales
impedance matching
stapes pushing oval windowo to amplifiy between air to fluid
tensor tympani and stapedius muscle
CN V and CN VII
stiffen to decrease transmission in response to loud noise
oval and round window
oval transmits from stapes to cochlea, round moves in opposite direction because perilymph is incombressible so fluid can move
bony vs membraneous labrythng
peri vs endolymph
scalas vestibuil, media, tympani
oval windo to vestibuli to helicotrema to tympanai to round window with perlymph
scala media inside with endo lymph and hair cells and tectorial and basal membranes and hair cells
reissners embrane
separates scala vestibuili from scala media
basilar membrane
separate scala tympanie from scala media has organ of corti on its surface narrow base for high frequencies wide apex for low frequencies max amplitude at appopriate frequency spot
utircule and saccule
have hair cells in the otolithic membrane with otoltihs hat move in response to linear acceleration and gravity
utricle
horizontal plane
toward striola
