Eustachian Tube
ICA
tensor tympani
chorda tympani- petrotympanic fissure
Why do infants get otitis media
adults?
eustachian tube is more horizontal
blockage of tube
–adults= smoking paralyzes cilia

opening for chorda tympani
Roof =– Structure of Middle Ear
tegmen tympani epitympanic process (space b/w ossicles and tegmen)
Floor– Structure of Middle Ear
jugular fossa
jugular bulb–transition b/w sigmoid sinus and IJV
sensory Innervation of middle ear
tympanic branch of CN9
how does tympanic branch of 9 enter middle ear?
from jugular foramen
waht does the tympanic branch of CN9 do once it’s in the middle ear?
forms plexus on promontory
Where does the lesser petrosal nerve come from?
some fibers from CN9 leave the promonotory as preganglionic parasympathetic fibers and go to otic ganglion
innervation of partoid gland starting from middle ear
preganglionics leave as tympanic plexus as lesser petrosal nerve from CN9, leaves middle ear via foramen spinosum/ovale to meet up with otic ganglion, postganglionic join the auriculotemporal (CNV3) to travel to parotid gland
Blood supply to the middle ear comes from which two branches of which artery?
Deep Auricular and anterior tympanic
from maxillary

Its sensory ganglion is the ___ ganglion and the first branch, the _______ nerve is given off. while traveling in the facial canal two other branches are given off the __ and the ___
internal acoustic meatus facial canal geniculate greater petrosal chorda tympani nerve to the stapedius
Two zebras bit my cervix is a mneumonic for what?
branches of facial nerve that innervate muscles of facial expression
