25
Auricle (Pinna) Tympanic membrane Ceruminous Glands (Produces Cerumen)
External ear
26
Cerumen is aka
Earwax
27
Eustachian tube is aka
Auditory canal
28
The ossicles consists of
Incus, malleus, stapyes
29
In the Middle Ear the Tempanic Cavity consist of
Eustachian tube containg The ossicles Incus, malleus, and stapes
30
The follow are parts of the... Pinna or auricle. This is the outside part of the ear. External auditory canal or tube. This is the tube that connects the outer ear to the inside or middle ear. Tympanic membrane (eardrum). The tympanic membrane divides the external ear from the middle ear. Middle ear (tympanic cavity), consisting of: Ossicles. Three small bones that are connected and transmit the sound waves to the inner ear. The bones are called: Malleus Incus Stapes Eustachian tube. A canal that links the middle ear with the back of the nose. The eustachian tube helps to equalize the pressure in the middle ear. Equalized pressure is needed for the proper transfer of sound waves. The eustachian tube is lined with mucous, just like the inside of the nose and throat.

36
The surface of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids are covered with a clear membrane called the ____
conjunctiva
37
Light is focused into the eye through the clear, dome-shaped front portion of the eye called the ____
cornea

Behind the cornea is a fluid-filled space called the anterior chamber. The fluid is called ____
aqueous humor
39
Behind the anterior chamber is the eye’s iris (the colored part of the eye) and the dark hole in the middle called the ____
pupil
40
Directly behind the pupil sits the ____ which focuses light toward the back of the eye.
Lens
41

vitreous humor
42
the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye
Retina
43
This cavity lies between the lens and the back of the eye
Vitreous
