The middle ear is filled with

Answer 11

AIR not fluid

Question 12

What connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx

Answer 12

Eustacian tube

Question 13

Helps equalize pressure for a good transmission of sound; helps prevent the tympanic membrane from rupturing.

Answer 13

Eustachian tube

Question 14

Connect to the tympanic membrane and moves by the vibration of sound waves by the tympanic membrane.

Answer 14

The three ossicles

Question 15

Includes the vestibule, cochlea, semicircular canals, membraneous labyrinth, bony labyrinth

Answer 15

Inner ear

Question 16

Series of bony canals; contains fluid that protects and cushions the organs of hearing and balance.

Answer 16

Bony labyrinth

Question 17

Coats the semi-circle canals and cochlea with endolymph fluid

Answer 17

Membraneous labyrinth

Question 18

Separates the cochlea and semi-circular canals; located just beyond the open window

Answer 18

Vestibule

Question 19

These canals are oriented in three different planes; they are stimulated by how fast we move and direction we move

Answer 19

Semi-circular canals

Question 20

The organ for hearing; it’s snail shaped; contains fine hairs that pick up waves and change to an electrochemical impulse for nerve impulse.

Answer 20

Cochlea

Question 21

What is within the cochlea?

Answer 21

Organ of corti

Question 22

What is inside of the organ of corti?

Answer 22

Seaweed like hairs

Question 23

Method of transmission that goes through the entire ear until the organ of corti converts sound waves into nerve impulse

Answer 23

Air conduction

Question 24

Sound that is transmitted from the skull and causes fluid waves into the vestibule by bypassing the external and middle ear.

Answer 24

Bone conduction

Question 25

Controlled by vestibule and semi-circular canals as we move; fluid in the canal moves

Answer 25

Equilibrium

Question 26

Maintenance of body position during movement and is a type of equilibrium

Answer 26

Dynamic equilibrium

Answer 31

Intensity

Question 32

The inability to hear high pitches during hearing loss is

Answer 32

Frequency

Question 33

Problem with sound waves is what type of hearing loss?

Answer 33

Conductive

Question 34

Damage to the inner ear (cochlea, organ of corti) in hearing loss?

Answer 34

Sensorineural

Question 35

Both conductive and sensory hearing loss?

Answer 35

Mixed

Question 36

Nothing wrong with hearing but is a result of emotional disturbance is what type of hearing loss?

Answer 36

Functional

Question 37

Ringing of the ears?

Answer 37

Tinnitus

Question 38

Whisper a phrase 1-2 feet away and gradually increasing the volume until the patient can hear

Answer 38

Whisper test

Question 39

Tuning fork test that test by vibrating fork on the mastoid bone and then moved in front of the pinna and is timed. Normal test would indicate air conduction is heard longer than bone conduction.

Answer 39

Rinne Test

Question 40

Tuning fork test where the stem of the fork is activated and placed on the skull. Conductive hearing loss - sound will Lateralize to the poor ear Sensorineural hearing loss - sound will Lateralize to the good war Normal is hearing B/L

Answer 40

Weber test
