what does the distal part of the tubtympanic recess become

A

tympanic cavity

28
Q

the tympanic cavity gradually envelops what

A

36
Q

where does the external acoustic meatus develop from the

A

first pharyngeal groove

37
Q

what is the meatus

A

the passage of the external ear to the tympanic membrane

38
Q

what do the cells that make up the meatal plug degenerate and become

A

the internal part of the external acoustic meatus

39
Q

what is the primordium of the tympanic membrane

A

first pharyngeal membrane

40
Q

what 3 things does the tympanic membrane (ear drum)form from

A

  • mesenchyme of the first and second pharyngeal arches
41
Q

pinna?

A

auricle

42
Q

what does the auricle develop from

A

mesenchymal proliferations in the frist and second phayrngela arches (auricular hillocks)

43
Q

lobule?

earlobe

44
Q

what is the last part of the auricle to form

A

ear lobe

45

what starts to develop at the neck and then assume their normal position at the side of the head

A

auricles

46
Q

how many auricular hillocks are there

A

congenital deafness

48
Q

what are most types of congenital deafness caused by

A

mutations in the GJB2 gene

49
Q

what infections during week 7-8 can cause the maldeevlopment of the spiral organ and cause deafness

A

rubella

50
Q

minor abnormalities of the auricles can indicate what
