28
Q

Pharyngotympanic tube lymphatic drainage

A

Deep cervical LN

29
Q

1st bone to fully ossify during developemnt, lacks what

A

Auditory ossicles, no osteogenic periosteum

30
Q

Malleus - head articulates with? what part lies against pars flaccida? what part embedded in TM?

A

incus body, neck, handle

31
Q

Tensor tympani insertion

A

Handle

32
Q

Incus articulates with stapes via

A

Lenticular process

33
Q

How can the base/footplate of the stapes increase vibratory force

A

Smaller than TM, so increased 10x

34
Q

Muscle and innervation - Prevents damage to internal ear when loud sounds by pulling malleus handle medially and tensing TM

A

Tensor tympani (V3)

35
Q

Muscle and innervation - Prevents excessive movement of stapes, tighten annular ligament

A

Stapedius (7)

36
Q

Bone denser than the remainder of petrous temporal bone often mistaken as the bony labyrinth

A

Otic capsule

37
Q

Inner ear fluids in bony labyrinth vs membranous labyrinth

A

Bony - perilymph, high Na low K; membranous - endolymph - low Na high K like intracellular fluid

38
Q

3 chambers of cochlea

A

Scala vestibuli (oval), tympani (round), media

39
Q

Spiral thickening of the periosteal lining of the cochlear canal that secure the cochlear duct to the spiral canal of the cochlea

A

Spiral ligament

40
Q

Semilunar communication at apex of cochlea

A

Helicotrema

41
Q

Separates scala vestibula and media

A

Reissner’s membrane

42
Q

Separates scala tympani and media, this is also the location of what structure

A

Basilar membrane, spiral organ of Corti

43
Q

Narrower portion is more sensitive to what sounds, wider portion for?

A

Narrow - high pitch, wider - low pitch

44
Q

Cone-shaped bony core around which the spinal canal turns (how many)

A

Modiulus, 2.5-2.75

45
Q

Communication between basal turn of cochlea to the subarachnoid space

A

Cochlear aqueduct

46
Q

Hair cells of spiral organ

A

1 row inner hair cells (without MT), 3 rows outer hair cells (amplification)

47
Q

Hair cells are in contact with what?

A

Tectorial membrane; depolarizes when hair moves

48
Q

Accessory hair cells for nutrition and regeneration

A

Hensen’s cells and Deeter’s cells

49
Q

Blood supply and nutrients along spiral ligament

A

Stria vascularis

50
Q

In the roof of the cochlear duct, transmits endolymphatic duct into 2 small bv

A

Vestibular aqueduct

51
Q

Uniting duct between saccule and cochlear ducts

A

Ductus reuniens

52
Q

Maculae for sensing horizontal and vertical movement

A

utriculi - horizontal; sacculi - vertical

53
Q

Innervate hair cells in maculae

A

Vestibulocochlear 8

54
Q

Ear develops what AOG? What germ layer?

A

4th wk; all! ecto - skin; meso - vessels; endo - linings

55
Q

Internal ear AOG

A

3rd-6th wk

56
Q

58
Q

Dorsal utricular portion becomes blank and ventral saccular portion becomes blank
