Q

What are the names of the middl ear bones shown in the image?

the yellow articulates with what feature?

A
  • blue: malleus
  • green: incus
  • yellow: stapes
    • articulates with oval window (vibrades it)
17
Q

Identify the indicated features of the middle ear bones.

ossification of which joint is a common cause of diminished sound

A
18
Q

Identify the following criteria for the tensor tympani muscle and the stapedius muscle

direction they enter the middle ear cavity

attachment points

A
  • Tensor tympani
    • anteromedial direction
    • Attachments
      • maleus
      • auditory tube
    • Innervation
      • mandibular nerve
    • Function
      • reduce vibration of the ossicles/sound prodution in the cochlea
  • stapedius
    • posterior direction
    • attachment
      • stapes
    • Function
      • mitigate sound
    • innervation
      • nerve to the stapedius from the facial, when you hear a loud sound, reduce the vibration on the oval window
19
Q

Identify the branches of the facial nerve as it enters the middle ear cavity

A
20
Q

draw these relationships

A
21
Q

Identify the indicated featrures of the cochlea

A
22
Q

What is the name of the membranous, bony canal system that spirals to the apex of the cochlea?

What is the name of of the apex? What connects here?

What is the name of the canal system that brings carries the infor back out to the round window?

What is sandwitched between?

A

scala vestibuli

hlicotrema (connection scala vestibuli and scala tympani)

scala tympani

chochlear duct

23
Q

What structures are found within the cochlear duct?

A
  • spiral organ
    • hair fibers that change shape and transmit fibers to create the cochlear nerve
24
Q

What sensation can occur due to problems with the tympanic membrane? Why is this?

A

you can get nausea, because the vagus provides GI parasympathetic innervation as well as sensatin of the external auditory canal

25
Q

What is the name for infection of the middle ear cavity?

what can this type of infection cause?

A

otitis media

conduction deafness

26
Q

Identify the structures shown and describe

A
  • utricle
    • linear characteristics of motin
  • saccule
    • verticle changes in motion
  • semicircular
    • rotary motion
