Q

lateraly eall of thhe tympanic cvaity

A

tympanic membrane

18
Q

posterior wall of tympanic cavity

A

vertcial part of facial nerve

19
Q

medial wall of tympamic cavity

A

promontory , oval and round window, horizantal part of facial nerve

20
Q

anterior wall of tymapnic cavity

A

phrayngeotymapnic tube 9 audiotroy tube) internal carotid artery and tensor tympani muscle

21
Q

function of phrayngeotympanic tube

A

it serves to equalize the air pressure in the tympanic cavity ad teh nasophraynx

22
Q

phrayngeo tympanic tube framework

A

posteriro inner third is bony and anterior two third is cartiligenous

23
Q

the audiotory ossicles

A

malleus ( hammer)
stapes ( stirrup)
incus ( anvil)

24
Q

muscles of the middle ear

A

tenspor tympani and stapedius

25
stapedius nerve supply
facial nerve
26
tensor tympani nerve supply
mandibular division of trigimenal nerve
27
action of stapedius
dampens excessive noise vibratiosn
28
action of tensor tympani
tenses tehtympanic membrane and pulls tehhandle of malleus medially
29
inability to dampen loud noises is called
hyperacusis
30
the inner ear consists of
auditory and vestibular structures filled with fluid
31
function of the inner ear
hearing sound audiotory and maintaining the balance of the body vestibular
32
inner ear location
situated within the petroud part of the temporal bione between the middle ear laterally and the internal acoustic meatus
33
inner ear divisons
bony and membranous labyrinth
34
what labyrinh is suspeneded within the bony labyrunth
membranous
35
bony labyrinth consists of
vestibule, cochlea, and semicircular canals
36
cochlea is responsile for
hearing
37
vestibule is responsible for
balance while stationary on its lateral wall lies oval window enclosed by stapes and round window sealed by secondary tympanic membrane
38
semicircular canals responsible for
balance while in motion threee canals anteriro posterior and lateral
39
membranous labyrinth contaisn
perilymph
40
membranous labyrinth conisists of
the vesitbular apperatures and the cochlear duct
41
the vestibular apperatures afre
utricle, saccule, semi circular ducts
42
the cochlear duct is
situated within the cochlea and is the organ responsible for hearing scala tympani and scala vestibuli
