Q

How do the semicircular canals develop?

A

Flattened outpocketings of the utricular part of the otic vesicle develop. The central walls of the outgrowth appositional each other and start to breakdown. Leaves an outer canal that will form semicircular canals

Q

How does the cochlear duct develop?

A

As an outgrowth from the saccule in weeks 6-8. Saccule grows into the surrounding mesenchyme and spirals 2.5 times. The spirals become the cochlear duct.

Q

What is the modiolus?

A

The separation between the scala vestibuli and tympani

17
Q

What separates the cochlear duct and scala tympani?

A

Basilar membrane

18
Q

What separates the cochlear duct and scala vestibuli?

A

The vestibular membrane

19
Q

What does the modiolus provide access for?

A

Auditory fibres

20
Q

What do the cells adjacent to the tympani differentaite into?

A

Inner and outer ridge cells

21
Q

What is the function of inner ridge cells?

A

To provide support to the tectorial membrane

22
Q

What do the outer ridge cells form?

A

The sensory cells of hearing - hair cells

23
Q

What is the function of the inner hair cell?

A

To associate with the auditory nerve fibres

24
Q

What is the function of the outer hair cells?

A

To amplify sound via bending the hairs against the tectorial membrane

25
Q

Where are the cells for balance found?

A

Utricular maccula and saccular maccula

26
Q

Where are the sensory cells for hearing?

A

Organ of corti

27
Q

Where does the middle ear develop from?

A

The 2nd pharyngeal pouch

28
Q

What extends from the first pharyngeal arch and what will it become?

A

Tubotympanic recess that will form tympanic cavity

29
Q

What gives the ossicle of the middle ear?

A

The mesenchymal condensation

30
Q

What do the incus and malleus develop from?

A

The 1st pharyngeal arch

31
Q

What does the stapes develop from?

A

The 2nd pharyngeal arch

32
Q

What allows communication between the tympanic cavity and pharynx?

A

Auditory tube

33
Q

How do sound waves move through the ear?

A

The tympanic membrane vibrates in response to sound waves. Movement passes from the malleus to th eincus to the stapes. The foot plate of the stapes is in communication with the oval window and then the bony labrynth. This creates a wave in the fluid of the bony labrynth that travels through the vestibular canal and to the scala tympani. The vibrations reach the round window where it is released.

34
Q

What does the external auditory meatus extend from?

A

The dorsal part of the first pharyngeal cleft

35
Q

When is the meatal plug formed?

A

Month 3

36
Q

When and how does the eardrum form?

A

In month 7 when the meatal plug degrades

37
Q

How is the auricle formed?

A

6 mesenchymal proliferations form around the 1st pharyngeal cleft. 3 are from arch 1 and 3 from arch 2. These form the auricular hillocks. These hillocks then fuse to form the auricle. This happens initially in lower neck and ascension occurs due to development of the mandible.

38
Q

When does ear development occur?

A

From 22 days to 9 months
