  3. fenestra cochlea- posterioroinferior to promontory opens into the scala tympani of cochlea and is closed by the secondary tympanic membrane
  4. promince of facial canal- below the fenestra vestibuli goes to the lower margin of aditus and then posterior to the stylomastoid foramina
  5. prominent of lateral semicircular canal above the facial canal
  6. sinus tympani behind the promontory
38
Q

contents of middle ear

A
3 bones: incus malleus and stapes
ligaments of ear osscicles 
muscles- tensor tympani and stapedius 
nerves- chordo tympani and tympanic plexus

vessels
39
Q

40
Q
