What are the 3 categories of the building blocks for an organism? 1) Tissues 2) Organs 3) Systems
What are the 4 categories of TISSUES? 1) Epithelial - surface/protective layer 2) Connective - support 3) Muscular - stimulated when contracted 4) Nervous - communicative
What are the three categories of joints? 1) Synarthoses - immoveable 2) Amphiarthroidal - partially moveable 3) Diarthroidal - moveable (most common)
Condyle A rounded prominence at the end of a bone, most often for articulation with another bone.
Foramen A natural opening or passage, especially one into or through a bone.
Fossa A hollow or depression, especially on the surface of the end of a bone,
Head The proximal articular end of the bone.
Neck The region of bone between the head and the shaft.
Meatus A body opening or passage, especially the external opening of a canal.
Process A relatively large projection or prominent bump.
Sinus A cavity within a cranial bone.

Central Nervous System Situated at or pertaining to center; principal or controlling; includes brainstem and spinal cord
Why is the pia mater important? Pia Mater (adheres to cortical surface - cerebral spinal fluid flows b/w the arachnoid and pia mater)
What is the basic central auditory system pathway? Cochlea -> Auditory Nerve -> Cochlear Nucleus -> Superior Olivary Complex -> Lateral Lemniscus -> Inferior Colliculus -> Medial Geniculate Body -> Auditory Radiation -> Heshl's Gyrus in Temporal Lobe -> Corpus Callosum

What does the trigeminal (CN V) innervate? Tensor tympani for malleus Tensor Veli palatini for eustachian tube Ear canal
What does the facial nerve (CN VII) innervate? Chorda tympani in TM Stapedius muscle in middle ear Courses alongside CN VIII Ear canal and many facial structures
What does the auditory (CN VIII) innervate? Hearing Vestibular system
What does the glossopharyngeal (CN IX) innervate? Ear canal Middle ear lining

What is a mnemonic device for knowing the cranial nerves being sensory, motor, or both? Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Business Makes Money.
What are the types of connective tissue? Areolar - Cushion surrounding organs, connecting tissues, & supporting blood vessels are a few of the functions. Bone - hardest connective tissue. Blood - arise from the marrow; suspended in a matrix of plasma Fibrous - binds structures together.
Which nerves are play a role within the ear? Cranial nerves: V (trigeminal); VII (facial); VIII (auditory/versitbular); IX (glossopharyngeal); and X (vagus)
