Q

What is the pathway of motor route of facial nerve

7

A

Emerges between pons and medulla
Through internal auditory meatus into facial canal of petrous temporal bone
Travels laterally to medial wall of middle ear
Joins nervus intermedius to form facial nerve in petrous temporal bone
Sharp turn at geniculate ganglion
Greater petrosal nerve, nerve to stapedius and chorda tympani given off
Exits through stylomastoid foramen into infra temporal fossa where small sensory branch innervates skin over external auditory meatus, upon emerging nerve entirely motor

Q

What is the physiology of hearing?

A

Vibrations captured by auricle and transmitted to external auditory meatus

Q

What is the process of mechanico neural transduction in the cochlear
6

A

Pressure waves begin at oval window and travel through Scala vestibuli
Parts of reissners membrane are displaced to create vibratory wave in potassium rich endolymph
Steriocillia of hair cells are displaced by vibratory wave which opens mechanically gated ion channels of hair cells
Potassium ions flow into hair cells leading to change in membrane potential, triggering the opening of vaultage gated calcium ion channels
Calcium enters which triggers neurotransmitter release
AP created in vestibulocochlear nerve afferents
