Answer 15

tensor tympani and stapedius

Question 16

area of the tympanic membrane is — greater than the stapes attachment at the oval window.

Answer 16

area of the tympanic membrane is 15x greater than the stapes attachment at the oval window.

Question 17

attached at oval window

Answer 17

stapes

Question 18

differences magnifies the ——- per unit —– of the stapes at the oval window, which is sufficient to move —— within the cochlea.

Answer 18

differences magnifies the force per unit area of the stapes at the oval window, which is sufficient to move perilymph within the cochlea.

Question 19

The perilymph within the cochlea moves from the —- window toward the—-window, in the bony cochlea.

Answer 19

The perilymph within the cochlea moves from the oval window toward the round window, in the bony cochlea.

Question 28

label the blanks

Answer 28

Question 29

Movement of the stapes deflects the membrane at the oval window Perilymph movement deforms the membranous cochlea duct which contains the organ of corti with its auditory hair cells This causes displacement of the perilymph within the bony cochlea

Answer 29

Movement of the stapes deflects the membrane at the oval window This causes displacement of the perilymph within the bony cochlea Perilymph movement deforms the membranous cochlea duct which contains the organ of corti with its auditory hair cells

Question 30

Answer 31

Question 32

tf cochlear duct is square

Answer 32

f triangular

Question 33

tips of the stereocilia are embedded in the ----- membrane (outer hair cells)

Answer 33

tips of the stereocilia are embedded in the tectorial membrane (outer hair cells)

Question 34

Movement of the ------ membrane influences movement of the ------ and thus, impacts ------- release

Answer 34

Movement of the basilar membrane influences movement of the sterocilia and thus, impacts neurotransmitter (NT) releas

Question 35

release of --- will excites CN -----

Answer 35

release of NT will excites CN-VIII (occurs from basilar membrane when stereocilia is moved )

Question 36

Answer 40

Coded within the CNS CNS compares the timing of sounds reaching the two ears

Question 41

Auditory Pathway

Answer 41

majoraity fibers cross to contralateral superior olive
