What is the epithelium of the external ear
Stratified squamous
What proportion of external ear is cartilage and waht proportion is bone?
cartilage = lateral 1/3 bone = medial 2/3
Sensory innervation of the external ear comes from what 4 nerves listed from anterior to posterior
Vagus–Small but clinically relevant
Auriculotemporal of V3–
Greater auricular– from cervical plexus
lesser occipital –from cervical plexus
Why is vagus clinically relevant for ear?
pain sensation from laryngeal cancer traveling in vagus can be referred to external acoustic meatus
tympanic membrane faces which way externally
anteriorly and inferiorly
3 layers of tympanic membrane
stratified squamous skin - hairless
fibrous CT- primarily collagen
mucosa
size of tympanic membrane
1cm in diameter
What is the area of the tympanic membrane called that doesn’t have connective tissue, and what is everything else called?
Pars Flaccida
Pars tensa
on the right side of the ear, light reflex should be where?
on the left?
5 o’clock
7
sensory innervation to external tympanic membrane is from which nerve?
auriculotemporal V3
sensory innervation to internal tympanic membrane is from which nerve?
tympanic branch of CNIX
3 ossicles
malleus, incus, stapes
Tensor Tympani O I N A
Eustacian Tube
Malleus
CNV3
tighten TM- protective
Stapedius O I N A Derivation
pyramidal eminence
Stapes
Nerve to the stapedius from CN7
prevents oscillations of stapes
How does the chorda tympani leave the middle ear?
petrotympanic fissure
What structure does the tympanic plexus run on top of
tympanic plexus
What bones does the chorda tympani run between
malleus and incus
Lateral Wall– Structure of Middle Ear
tympanic membrane
Anterior Wall– Structure of Middle Ear
Eustachian Tube
ICA
tensor tympani
chorda tympani- petrotympanic fissure
Why do infants get otitis media
adults?
eustachian tube is more horizontal
blockage of tube
–adults= smoking paralyzes cilia
Medial Wall Wall– Structure of Middle Ear
Promontory tympanic plexus oval window Round Window Prominence of facial canal prominance of lateral semicircular canal
Posterior Wall– Structure of Middle Ear
Entrance to mastoid antrum
pyramidal eminence
Facial Canal- facial nerve
opening for chorda tympani
Roof =– Structure of Middle Ear
tegmen tympani epitympanic process (space b/w ossicles and tegmen)
Floor– Structure of Middle Ear
jugular fossa
jugular bulb–transition b/w sigmoid sinus and IJV
