56
divisions of the ear
- external - middle - internal
57
parts of the external ear
auricle external acoustic meatus
58
auricle
- cartilage - captures waves and sound - protects the opening of the ear - funnels sounds
59
external acoustic meatus
from auricle --> tympanic membrane lateral--> cartilage medial--> temporal bone - directs sounds waves into the ear - ceruminous glands - debris trapping hairs
60
boney components of external ear
temporal bone
61
tympanic membrane
- separates the external and middle ear - vibrate in response to incoming sound waves
62
63
where does the external acoustic meatus end 1. tympanic membrane 2. vestibule 3. auditory tube 4. oval window
1.
64
features of the middle ear
- collect and amplify sound waves - transmits sound to internal ear - (auditory ossicles, tympanic mem, eustachian tube, path to nasopharynx)
65
pharyngotympanic tube
matches pressure with the body connects ear--> nose --> throat
66
what do auditory ossicles do?
- three bones - bony ossicles - connect tympanic membrane and internal ear
67
the three bony ossicles
malleus--> incus--> stapes--> covers oval window causing it to vibrate
68
muscles of middle ear
tensor tympani --> pulls on malleous stapedius --> pulls on stapes (prevents excessive vibration of the bony ossicles)
69
oval window
- stapes pushed against oval window to transmit sound waves to internal ear
70
round window
helps sound waves travel through internal ear - like an outlet helps flow (below oval window)
71
features of internal ear
- innermost compartment - encased in temporal bone - sensations of hearing and balance
72
what is the internal ear composed of
- bony labyrinth - membranous labyrinth
73
bony labyrinth
- cochlea (cochlear duct) - vestibule (utricle and saccule) - 3 semicircular canals (semicircular ducts)
74
cochlea
- fluid filled - sensory organ for hearing - sound travels through the fluid - sends sound information to the brain
75
vestibule
- membranous labyrinth - utricle and saccule - balance and equilibrium - detects: head position gravity linear accerlation - maintain stability and posture
76
semicircular canals
3 semiciruclar canals - detects rotational motion in 3 different planes - maintain balance
77
sensory hair cells
cells with hair like projections (sterocilia) - detects motion (hair cells get bent) - hearing and balance
78
which portion of the cochlea contain endolymph? 1. the Scala vestibuli 2. bony labyrinth 3. cochlear duct 4. tympanic duct
3
79
what does the membranous labyrinth contain?
- endolymph
80
amplitude
volume of sound - height of sound wave - decibels (dB)
81
frequency
pitch of sound - how close together waves are together - hertz (Hz)
82
sound transmission
1. sounds waves transmitted through external ear to tympanic membrane 2. vibrations pass through ossicles of middle ear 3. stapes pushes against oval window and sound waves are transmitted to cochlea
83
parts of the cochlea
- scala tympani - scala vestibuli - chochlear duct (scala media) - helicotema
84
high pitch
doesnt travel as far into the cochlea
85
low pitch
travels far within the cochlea
86
how is sound determined
- how many hair cells are stimulate determine how loud you hear - pitch is determined by pressure in cochlea
87
what does the cochlear duct house?
sensory organ of corti organ for hearin/spiral organ
88
innervation of hearing
CN VIII
89
whole process of hearing
1. sound waves cause vibration of the tympanic membrane 2. movement of tympanic membrane vibrates ossicles 3. stapes pushings oval window causes waves in perilymph 4. waves of perilymph push against basilar membrane as they travel through the cochlea 5. hair cells push against tectorial membrane and when they bend a neural signal is transmitted 6. impulses travel to CNS via cochlear branch of CN VIII
90
conductive hearing loss
-external or middle ear - usually temporary (earwax build up) (perforated eardrum)
91
sensorineural hearing loss
- internal ear/nerve pathway - usually permanent (cochlear/nerve degeneration by again) (trauma induced)
92
the receptors of the internal ear responsible for the detection of sound are termed? 1. tactile receptors 2. hair cells 3. proprioceptors 4. baroreceptors
2
93
vestibular apparatus
vestibule semicircular canals
94
dynamic equilibrium
maintaining balance when head and body are moved suddenly - semicircular ducts
95
static equilibrium
maintaining posture and stability when body is motionless saccule anular utricle
96
posteior semicircular canals
head side to side
97
lateral semicircular canals
shaken head ('no')
98
anterior semicircular canals
shaking head "yes"
99
rotational movement
hair cells get activated with movement to get more information
100
ampullar: semicircular canals
- each duct contain an ampulla - swollen region containing sensory receptors - hair cells are clustered together on parts of the ampulla
101
what are hair cells embedded in
gelatinous mass cupula
102
cupula
emphym cause cupula to move which stimulates hair cells
103
process of sensing rotational movement
1. head rotates and causes movement of endolymph 2. semicircular canal rotates with the head and endolymph sloshes against cupula 3. displacement of cupula distorts the sensory hair cells 4. nerve impulses are transmitted during this displacement/movement
104
saccule and utricle
membranous sacs filled with endolymph each sac contains a macula (hairs cells in macula) Utricle: horizontal acceleration saccule: vertical acceleration
105
macula
contains otoliths
106
otoliths
- crystals are heavy and lag behind - gravity causes them to move the causes hair cells to move
