3 parts of ear -ANSWER✅✅✅outer, middle, inner
From _____ _____ outward is considered the outer ear -ANSWER✅✅✅Tympanic
membrane
Sound progression -ANSWER✅✅✅1. sound waves arrive at tympanic membrane
2. movement of the tympanic membrane causes displacement of the ossicles
3. movement of the stapes at the oval window establishes pressure waves in the
perilymph of the scala vestibuli
______ wiggle when vibration occurs and moves towards the inner ear -
ANSWER✅✅✅ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes)
What does the tympanic membrane do? -ANSWER✅✅✅transmits and amplifies sound
How much amplification occurs between the tympanic membrane and the oval window?
-ANSWER✅✅✅8-9x
What does the stapes do? -ANSWER✅✅✅Moves like a piston to disrupt fluid in the
cochlea
Round window is aka the ____ _____ -ANSWER✅✅✅release valve
along the way, the waves are acting with the _______ of ______- -
ANSWER✅✅✅organ of corti
external acoustic meatus -ANSWER✅✅✅Canal leading to eardrum and middle ear
, internal acoustic meatus -ANSWER✅✅✅A passage for CN VIII from the inner ear to
the brain.
What are the cochlea and vestibular apparatus embedded in? -ANSWER✅✅✅bone
vestibular apparatus= -ANSWER✅✅✅semicircular canal
-at 90 degrees to each other
-coordinates balance
stimulus of hearing -ANSWER✅✅✅compression waves of air particles
frequency -ANSWER✅✅✅pitch
amplitude -ANSWER✅✅✅volume
in/out of inner ear -ANSWER✅✅✅in-sound
out-action potential
branch of facial nerve runs thru -ANSWER✅✅✅middle ear
tensor tympani -ANSWER✅✅✅the muscle attached to the malleus; tensing the tensor
tympani decreases vibration
- reduce transmission of loud noise
stapedius -ANSWER✅✅✅the muscle attached to the stapes; tensing the stapedius
decreases vibration
-reduce transmission of loud noise
The inside of the vestibule and cochlea are filled with -ANSWER✅✅✅endolymph or
perilymph
Vestibule -ANSWER✅✅✅balance and equilibrium
maculae -ANSWER✅✅✅sensory receptors for static equilibrium in the vestibule
-collection of hair cells detecting the center of gravity
-inside utricle or saccule
ampullae -ANSWER✅✅✅a bulbous structure at the base of semicircular canals in the
inner ear's vestibular system
-It houses sensory hair cells within a gelatinous structure called the cupula
-playing a crucial role in maintaining balance
cupulla -ANSWER✅✅✅a gelatinous mass found in the ampulla of the semicircular
canals; moves in response to the flow of the fluid in the canals
