L16: Cranial Openings Flashcards
describe the auricle
the outer ear parts
layer of skin over cartilage
define lobule
fibrous fatty tissue w/o cartilage
sensory innervation to the outer ear
great auricular n
auriculotemporal n
lesser occipital n
external acoustic meatus
from auricle to tympanic memb
2.5 cm, S shaped
lined by skin and ceruminous glands
list components of middle ear
tympanic memb tympanic cavity auditory ossicles stapedius muscle tensor tympani muscle
what does GSA stand for ?
general somatic afferent
tympanic membrane
dense fibrous memb
covered by skin
covered by mucosa internally
tympanic cavity
air filled cavity w/in petrous portion of temporal bone
round window
oval window
round window
enclosed by 2ndary tympanic memb
undergoes compensatory excursion w/ mvt of stapes
oval window
closed by footplate of stapes
auditory ossicles
malleus – attached to tympanic memb
incus
stapes – attached to oval window/fenestra vestibuili
stapedius muscle
inserts on stapes neck
contracts reflexively in response to loud sounds
innervated by CN VII
tensor tympanii muscle
inserts on malleus
contracts in reflex to loud sounds
innervated CN V3
CN IX gives off ?
tympanic nerve
lateral petrosal nerve
tympanic nerve
GSA to mucosa of tympanic cavity, mastoid air cells, auditory tube
lateral petrosal nerve
leaves tympanic cavity to floor of middle cranial fossa
descends thru foramen ovale
to infratemporal fossa
ends in otic ganglion
inner ear components
bony labyrinth
membranous labyrinth
cochlea
vestibule
bony labyrinth
lined w/ periosteum
blood supply to the inner ear
labyrinthine artery – from basilar art
basilar artery is formed by ?
the fusion of 2 vertebral arteries
the inner ear lies w/in ?
petrous part of temporal bone
cochlea
snail shell look
3 turns
round window – fenestra cochlea
vestibule
contains utricle and saccule
CN VIII is ?
the vestibulocochlear/auditory nerve
semicircular canals
ant/post/lat
in 3 planes
open into utricle
dilation at one end form ampulla
ampulla
dilated end of semicircular canals
has crista ampullaris
to sense rotational acceleration of the head
utricle and saccule
w/ macula
sense linear acceleration and pull of gravity on the head
bones of orbit – roof
orbital plate of frontal bone
lesser wings of sphenoid
special feature – fossa for lacrimal glands – tears
