21
Q

oval (vestibular window)

A

in medial wall of tympanic cavity

covered by stapes

22
Q

round (cochlear) window

A

in medial wall of tympanic cavity

covered by membrane

23
Q

which nerve travels between malleus and incus

A

chorda tympani (facial VII)

24
Q

tympanic nerve

A

branch of glossopharyngeal (IX)
forms tympanic plexus
carried sensory info in middle ear
part of it travels through tympanic cavity as lesser petrosal nerve

25
Q

what are the purpose of the 2 openings in the anterior (carotid) wall of the typanic cavity

A

tensor tympani muscle

pharyngotympanic tube

26
Q

what is the function of the pharyngotympanic tube

A

equalize pressure in middle ear

27
Q

tensor tympani

A

attached to malleus
contract in response to loud sounds to protect ear from damage
N: mandibular trigeminal v3

28
Q

stapedius

A

attached to stapes
contract in response to lound sounds to protect ear from damage
N: facial VII

29
Q

what makes up the bony labyrinth of the inner ear

A

vestibule
semicircular canals
cochlea

30
Q

ampullae

A

bulges at base of semicircular canals

31
Q

endolymph

A

fluid inside membranous labyrinth

32
Q

perilymph

A

fluid between bony and membranous labyrinth

33
Q

utricle and saccule

A

membranous dilations inside the bony vestible
continuous with endolymphatic duct
each have specialized area of sensory epithelium = macula

34
Q

macula

A

in utricle/saccule
specialized area of sensory epithelium
contain hair cells embedded in gelatinous layer covered by layer of crystals = otoconia/otoliths

35
Q

otoconia/otoliths

A

calcium carbonate crystals in maculae
shift in position caused by moving head = hair cells stim to tell brain position of head
vestibular portion of vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)

36
Q

crista ampullaris

A

sensory area within ampulla of semicircular canals

contains hair cells with cilia embedded in gelatinous strucure (cupula)

37
Q

what motion moves endolymph into anterior canal

A

nod

38
Q

what movement moves endolymph into lateral canal

A

shaking head no

39
Q

what movement moves endolymph into posterior canal

A

tilting head to side

40
Q

modiolus

A

bony core around which the cochlea turns

41
Q

apex of cochlea points

A

anterolaterally

42
Q

cochlear duct

A

scala media
membranous portion of cochlea concerned with hearing
center
filled with endolymph

43
Q

vestibular duct

A

scala vestibule

superior to chochlear duct

44
Q

tympanic duct

A

scala tympani

inferior to cochlear duct

45
Q

basilar membrane of ear

A

between cochlear duct and tympanic duct

spiral organ of Corti sits on here

46
Q

organ of corti

A

sits on basilar membrane

rows of hair cells with cilia in contact with tectorial membrane - attached to bony projectionof modiolus

47
Q

process of hearing

A
  • basilar membrane oscillates in response to waves in endolymph in cochlear duct
  • hair cells of organ of Corti move
  • hair cells push against rigid tectorial membrane (against bony modiolus) = deformation
  • deformation = relay info to brain via cochlear portion of vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
48
Q

spiral gangion

A

within modiolus

contain cell bodies of the primary afferent neurons of the spiral organ

49
Q

blood supply to bony labyrinth

A

anterior tympanic artery (maxillary)
stylomastiod (posterior auricular)
petrosal (middle meiningeal)

50
Q

blood supply to membranous labyrinth

A 
labyrinthine artery (anterior inferior cerebellar/basilar a )
travels thorugh internal auditory meatus with facial nerve and vestibulocochlear nerve)
