The Ear Flashcards
what are the functions of the ear
hearing and balance
what are the 3 parts of the ear
- external ear
- middle ear
- internal ear
what makes up the external ear
- auricle
- pinna
- external acoustic meatus
- tympanic membran (ear drum)
what makes the middle ear
- 3 small ossicles
- internal layer of tympanic memb.
what is in the internal ear
vestibulocochlear organ
what day do you first see the development of the ear
day 22
what does the ear appear as
thickening of surface ectoderm (otic placode)
inductive signals from where stimulate the surface ectoderm to form otic placodes
paraxial mesoderm and notochord
what is the primordia for the membranous labyrinth
otic vesicle
wat are the two parts that otic vesicle form
- utricle part
- saccular part
what arises from the utricular part (dorsal)
- endolymphatic duct
- utrilce
- semicircular ducts
cristae ampullares contain cells that do what
maintain balance
what grows and coils to form the membranous cochlea ( huge coiled thing)
the cochlear duct
what connets the membranous cochlea to the saccule
ductus reuniens
what does the spiral organ of corti differintiate from?
cells that are in the wall of the cochlear duct
the cochlear duct is surrounded by cartilage shell and during what week does it undergo vaculolization and form two perilymphatic spaces/?
week 10
what are the two perilymphatic spaces around the cochlear duct called
- sacala vestibuli
- scala tympani
what are the two ridges that are formed by the cochlear duct
inner ridge and outer ridge
what does the outer ridge of the cochlear duct form
inner and outer hair cells
what are the sensory cells of the auditory system
hair cells
what covers teh inner and outer hair cells
tectorial membrane
what is the fibrillar gelatinous substance that rest with its tip on the hair cells
the tectorial membrane
what two things make up the organ of Corti
hair cells and tectorial membrane
impulses that are recieved by the organ of corti go to the spiral ganglion and then to the nervous system how
by the auditory fibers of cranial nerve 8
what does the tubotympanic recess form from
the 1st pharyngeal pouch
