29
Q

In the Middle Ear the Tempanic Cavity consist of

A

Eustachian tube containg
The ossicles
Incus, malleus, and stapes

30
Q

The follow are parts of the…

Pinna or auricle. This is the outside part of the ear.

External auditory canal or tube. This is the tube that connects the outer ear to the inside or middle ear.

Tympanic membrane (eardrum). The tympanic membrane divides the external ear from the middle ear.

Middle ear (tympanic cavity), consisting of:

Ossicles. Three small bones that are connected and transmit the sound waves to the inner ear. The bones are called:

Malleus

Incus

Stapes

Eustachian tube. A canal that links the middle ear with the back of the nose. The eustachian tube helps to equalize the pressure in the middle ear. Equalized pressure is needed for the proper transfer of sound waves. The eustachian tube is lined with mucous, just like the inside of the nose and throat.

A

External or outer ear

Q

Three small bones that are connected and transmit the sound waves to the inner ear. The bones are called: (Collectively) and Seperately

A

Ossicles

Incus, Malleus, and Stapes

35
Q

What consist of these structures

Cochlea. This contains the nerves for hearing.

Vestibule. This contains receptors for balance.

Semicircular canals. This contains receptors for balance

A

Inner ear

36
Q

39
Q

Behind the anterior chamber is the eye’s iris (the colored part of the eye) and the dark hole in the middle called the ____

A

pupil

40
Q

Directly behind the pupil sits the ____ which focuses light toward the back of the eye.
