Ears And Eyes Flashcards
What are the three main divisions of the ear
External
Middle
Internal
The external ear contains cartilage called ?
Auricle (pinna)
The ______________ has a vertical and horizontal part that ends at the external acoustic meatus?
Ear canal
What part of the ear is housed in the tympanic part of the temporal bone?
Middle ear
The middle ear contains ?
Tympanic membrane
Tympanic bulla
Auditory ossicles
The middle ear communicates with the nasopharynx via the ?
Auditory tube
What part of the ear is housed in the petrous part of the temporal bone?
Inner ear
What are the parts of the inner ear?
Osseous labyrinth
Membranous labyrinth
How is the sound pressure waves transformed into electrical energy ?
External ear captures sound waves and transmits it to the middle ear via tympanic membrane.
Waves on tympanic membrane vibrate the ossicles
Stapes ossicle vibrates oval window to produce waves in the perilymph
Perilymph movement displaces tectorial and basement membranes
Electrical firing of cochlear neurons
The ________ of the ear is the slightly folded medial and lateral margin
Helix
The ________ is a transverse ridge on the internal concave wall of the auricle at the beginning of the external acoustic meatus
Anthelix
The ____________ is the rostral boundary of the beginning of the ear canal, opposite to the anthelix.
Tragus
Projecting caudally from the tragus, the ___________ is the lateral boundary of the ear canal
Antitragus
On each side of the tragus lies the ______________ medially, and the _____________ laterally
Pretragic insisure - medial to tragus
Intertragic insisure- lateral to tragus
The pretragic incisure is also known as _________________
Tragohelicine incisure
The pouch on the lateral portion of the helix is the ________________ (tick hotel)
Cutaneous marginal pouch
The _____________ cartilage connects the cartilagenous meatus of the horizontal canal with the bony acoustic meatus
Annular
The __________ cartilage serves as an attachment site for auricular muscles
Scutiform
What is different between the tympanic bulla of a cat and dog??
Cat - divided
Dog- not
What is the ventral expansion of the petrous temporal bone, located deep to the tympanic bulla??
Promontory
The ________ protects the eye and adnexa
Orbit
