This is a component of the outer ear that is a layer of skin over cartilage framework. It also has a lobule which is a fibrous fatty tissue with no cartilage.
Auricle
What provides sensory innervation to the outer ear?
Great auricular nerve
Auriculotemporal nerve
Lesser occipital nerve
This component of the outer ear goes from the auricle to the tympanic membrane. It is S-shaped and 2.5 cm in length. It is lined by skin and ceruminous glands.
External acoustic (auditory) meatus
In the middle ear, there is a dense fibrous membrane called the tympanic membrane. Externally it’s covered by ________, and internally it’s covered by _________.
Skin
Mucosa
The _______ _______ is an air-filled cavity within the petrous portion of the temporal bone.
Tympanic cavity
Within the tympanic cavity, there is the _______ window and _______ window.
Round
Oval
This component of the tympanic cavity is enclosed by the secondary tympanic membrane. It undergoes compensatory excursions with movement of stapes.
Round window
This component of the tympanic cavity is closed by footplate of stapes.
Oval window
In the middle ear, there are the auditory ossicles. These are…
Malleus
Incus
Stapes
This auditory ossicle is attached to the tympanic membrane.
Malleus
This auditory ossicle is attached to the oval window (fenestra vestibuli).
Stapes
This component of the middle ear is a muscle that inserts onto the neck of the stapes.
Stapedius muscle
The stapedius muscle contracts reflexively in response to what?
Loud sounds
What innervates the stapedius muscle?
CN VII
This component of the middle ear is a muscle that inserts onto the malleus.
Tensor tympani muscle
The tensor tympani muscle contracts reflexively in response to what?
Loud sounds
What is the tensor tympani muscle innervated by?
CN V3 (Mandibular nerve)
This nerve innervates the middle ear, along with its branches.
CN IX (Glossopharyngeal nerve)
This branch of CN IX provides sensory innervation to mucosa of tympanic cavity, mastoid air cells, and auditory tube.
Tympanic nerve
This branch of CN IX leaves the tympanic cavity to the floor of middle cranial fossa. It descends through the foramen ovale to the infratemporal fossa and ends in the otic ganglion.
Lateral petrosal nerve
The inner ear lies within what?
Petrous part of temporal bone
This part of the inner ear is lined with periosteum.
Bony labyrinth
The bony labyrinth and membranous labyrinth of the inner ear are supplied by the _________ artery, which is from the _______ artery.
Labyrinthine
Basilar
The basilar artery is formed by the fusion of two _______ arteries.
Vertebral
