ear Flashcards
auricle
aka pinna
collect air waves and funnel them to EAM
cartilages of auricle
all elastic
helix
tragus
antihelix
depressions of auricle
concha
scaphoid fossa
lobule of auricle
composed of fibroelastic tissue
blood auricle
post auricular a, v
superficial temporal a,v
lymp ear
mastoid, parotid nodes -> deep cervical nodes
EAM
thru tympanic portion temporal bone to tympanic membrane
lat 1/3 cartilaginous
med 2/3 boney
EAM histo
lined by stratifies squamous epi w/ceruminous glands
EAM blood
post auricular a, v
superficial temporal a,v
deep auricular a
innervation ear
great auricular & lesser occipital nn

EAM devleopment
derived from arch 1
meatal plug forms from prolif of epi cells, degenerates by month 7
persistence can cause deafness
innervation EAM
auriculotemporal V3

lymph EAM
deep cervical nodes
tympanic membrane
convert sound waves into vibrations of middle ear ossicles
