|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What makes up the outer ear? | Auricle (pinna)
EAM
Tympanic Membrane
🗑
|
||||
| What is the middle ear aka? What makes up the middle ear? | Tympanic cavity
Connects to nasopharynx via Eustachian tube & with mastoid air cells
Round & Oval windows separate middle from inner ear
3 bony ossicles- hammer, anvil, stirrup
🗑
|
||||
| Anatomical Parts for Hearing | Cerebellopontine angle- site of acoustic neuroma (CN 5, 7, 8)
Internal acoustic meatus & auditory canal- CN 8 travels with 7
Tympanic membrane
Middle ear ossicles
Oval & Round windows
🗑
|
||||
| Inner ear (Labyrinth) | Cochlea, Vestibule (Utricle & Saccule), 3 Semi-Circular canals, Bony labyrinth, Membranous labyrinth, Scala vestibuli & tympani
🗑
|
||||
| Bony Labyrinth | Surrounds membranous labyrinth
Filled with perilymph, which suspends the membranous labyrinth
🗑
|
||||
| Membranous Labyrinth | Cochlear duct, Utricle, Saccule, & 3 semi-circular canals
Only the cochlear duct is our concern for hearing
🗑
|
||||
| Pathway for Acoustic Vibrations | Acoustic Vibrations -> Scala vestibuli -> Cochlea -> Scala tympani -> Round window
Vibrations also reach the scala media (cochlear duct)
🗑
|
||||
| Organ of Corti | Hair cells of the cochlea, basilar & tectorial membranes
🗑
|
||||
| Higher Frequency sounds go where? | Oval Window
🗑
|
||||
| Lower frequency sounds go where? | Cochlear Apex
🗑
|
||||
| What are sound waves transmitted by? | Tympanic Membrane
🗑
|
||||
| Sound waves are amplified by? | Middle ear ossicles
Mvmts dampened by tensor tympani & stapedius
Muscles attached to 3 bones
🗑
|
||||
| After hitting the bony ossicles, sound waves go where? | Oval window, then on to inner ear structures
🗑
|
||||
| Two inner ear structures receive vibrations | 1. Oval window the scala vestibuli->End of cochlea joins scala tympani-> out thru round window (occurs whether sound heard or not)
2. Scala media- mechanoreceptor cilia activated by mvmt of basilar membrane relative to stiff tectorial membrane
🗑
|
||||
| The basilar membrane is? Tectorial membrane? | Soft & elastic
Stiff & rigid
🗑
|
||||
| Where do hair cells attach? | Tops of hair cells attach to tectorial membrane, bottom of hair cells attach to basilar membrane axons. Scala vestibuli in motion from vibration, mvmt transmitted across organ of Corti, mvmt of fluid in coch duct from vibration, goes to axons/nn/hair cell
🗑
|
||||
| Where is pressure equalized? | Eustachian Tubes
🗑
|
||||
| If you hear something what is the pathway? | EAM->Tympanic Membrane-> 3 ossicles-> Oval window-> Scala vestibuli-> Scala media-> Scala tympani->Round window
🗑
|
||||
| If sound is not heard what part of the pathway is eliminated? | Scala Media
🗑
|
||||
| Components of the Cochlea | 3 compartments separated by bony shelf/membranes
Scala media contains auditory end organ
Oval window & round window separate, respectively, scala vestibuli & scala tympani from middle ear
🗑
|
||||
| Another name for the scala media is what? | Cochlear Duct- contains endolymph
🗑
|
||||
| Where is the organ of Corti? | "Sits" on the basilar membrane
🗑
|
||||
| Tectorial Membrane | Gelatinous, extends over free surface of organ of Corti
Hairs of hair cells are attached to this membrane
🗑
|
||||
| What occurs when vibrations in endolymph are transmitted to the tectorial membrane? | Deformation of hairs attached to it, which initiates impulse in afferent nerve fibers in contacct with basilar part of hair cells
🗑
|
||||
| Do lesions in the CNS proximal to the cochlear nuclei result in unilateral hearing loss? | NO
Hearing is bilateral, once signals are in this far, it's really hard to be unilaterally deaf.
There are lots of crossings, another reason it's hard to get a central lesion & become completely deaf
🗑
|
||||
| Cochlear Nerve Nuclei & Central Connections- Hearing Pathway | Cochlear Nucleus->Trapezoid Body & Superior Olivary Nucleus-> Lateral Lemniscus/Nuclei-> Inferior Colliculus of midbrain-> Medial Geniculate Body-> Acoustic Radiation-> Auditory Cortex of Sup. Temp. Gyrus
🗑
|
||||
| After sound is processed, when is it actually "heard"? | When impulses reach Heschl's Gyrus
🗑
|
||||
| What does decoding language require? | Primary, Secondary, & Association cortices
🗑
|
||||
| Localization of Sound | Begins in superior olive & inferior colliculus. Requires auditory assn areas in superior temporal gyrus & posterior parietal cortex
🗑
|
||||
| Unilateral Lesion | Wouldn't interfere with other impulses from both ears projecting to the cortex of opposite hemisphere. Deafness in one ear usually signifies damage to the acoustic nerve, cochlea, or the sound- conducting apparatus of middle ear on that side.
🗑
|
||||
| 3 routes for sound waves to reach inner ear | 1.Ossicular- AIR conduction
2. Air Route- ossicles no longer vibrate; vibrations transmitted thru air in middle ear to round window (not effective)
3.Bone route- conducted via bones in skull to perilymph of inner ear. Used by people who use hearing aids
🗑
|
||||
| Sensorineural Deafness | Injured Nerve
🗑
|
||||
| Conductive Deafness | Cerumen/blockage preventing sound from getting into the ear
🗑
|
||||
| Weber Test | Tuning fork on skull vertex; Pt report louder side. Normal= tone equal bilaterally. Sensorineural loss- louder on normal side; Conductive loss- louder on affected side
🗑
|
||||
| Rinne's Test | Fork over mastoid (BC) & outside ear canal (AC); AC shoulder be 2x > BC
Conductive loss- BC > AC
Sensorineural loss- AC>BC but hearing decreased in affected ear
🗑
|
||||
| Audiomotor Reflex | Hear a sound, have a motoric response; motoric response- contraction of tensor tympani & stapes
No conscious control over this
🗑
|
||||
| General Acoustic Reflex | If someone drops something loudly, you startle/jump
Sensory = sound
Motor = Jumping/Startling
🗑
|
||||
| Auditory Palpebral Reflex | Sound causes you to blink
CN 7
🗑
|
||||
| Auditory-Oculogyric Reflex | Someone walks in a room, you look at the door
🗑
|
||||
| Cochleopupillary Reflex | Hear something, your pupils either dilate or first constrict then dilate
CN 3
🗑
|
||||
| Role of tectospinal tract in auditory reflexes | Fiber tract from just above midbrain into spinal cord
Pathway that many reflexes use. Get on the path & either go up or go down
Tract is a transport system!
🗑
