Q

What is the auricle derived from?

A

1st and 2nd pharyngeal arches. Auricular hillocks (NCC) covered in surface ectoderm. Migrate and proliferate to make shape of outer ear

Q

What is the meatal plug?

A

Comes from the 1st pharyngeal cleft/groove. Migrates in to meet up with the pouch, proliferation of surface ectoderm. Supposed to undergo apoptosis to create external auditory meatus

Q

How does the inner ear form?

A

Thickening of surface ectoderm makes the otic placode which invaginates to make the otic pit. The pit rounds up to make the otic vesicle which migrates deeper into the head.
Gives rise to the primordium of the membranous labyrinth

Q

What does the ampullae detect?

A

Rotational acceleration

17
Q

What does the macula detect?

A

Gravity and linear acceleration

18
Q

What does the organ of corti detect?

A

Sound vibration

19
Q

What layer do the hair cells come from?

A

Surface ectoderm

20
Q

What innervates the inner ear? What layer did it come from?

A

Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), surface ectoderm

21
Q

What nerve do the cells of the spiral ganglion of the cochlea form?

A

Cochlear N

22
Q

What nerve do the cells of the vestibular ganglion of the cochlea form?

A

Vestibular N

23
Q

What is perilymph?

A

Similar to CSF (high NA, low K and protein), comes from periosteum

24
Q

What is endolymph?

A

Similar to intracellular fluid (high K and protein, low NA), comes from stria vascularis, stored in endolymphatic sac

25
Q

What fills the structures (ducts) of the membranous labyrinth?

A

Endolymph

26
Q

What fills the space (canals) between the membranous labyrinth and the bone?

A

Perilymph

27
Q

How can a chronic middle ear infection get dangerous?

A

If the infection erodes into the perilymph it can get into the subarachnoid space through the perilymphatic duct

28
Q

Where is the bony labyrinth located? What layer is it from?

A

Petrous part of temporal bone, condensation of mesenchyme (mesoderm)

29
Q

Where do ossicles come from?

A

NCC-derived, covered in endoderm

30
Q

What muscle inserts onto the malleus and prevents loud sound from damaging ear? What is it innervated by?

A

Tensor tympani, trigeminal n (first arch mesoderm)

31
Q

What muscle inserts on the stapes and prevents damage from loud sound? What is it innervated by?

A

Stapedius m, facial n (second arch mesoderm)

32
Q

What causes congenital deafness?

A

Maldevelopment of sound-conduction apparatus in middle/external ears (ex: ossicles), neurosensory sensory structures of inner ear, infections
