furuncles mean——-?
infection of hair follicles
Where does furuncles develop?
Since the hairs are confined to the outer part of the meatus, the furuncles (infection of hair follicles) develop only in this part.
To examine external auditory meatus and tympanic membrane, the pinna is pulled LUB in adults, while in infants it is pulled—- and—-.
WHY??!!!
downwards; backwards
This is because in infants the bony part of external auditory meatus is not developed and tympanic membrane is directed mainly downwards.
The infection and boils of the external auditory meatus cause—— swelling that are very —— because the skin lining is——-
very little; painful
