Term
Definition
show Bartolomeo Eustachi  
🗑
show Made up of 3 ossicles that link the tympanic membrane to the oval window of the cochlea. Needs support (ligaments) and control (muscles via tendons). Muscle contraction causes rigidity and movement restriction.  
🗑
Ossicles   show
🗑
show tensor tympani muscle, (tensing of head/neck muscles), ligament to the malleus  
🗑
V cranial nerve   show
🗑
show facial nerve  
🗑
VII cranial nerve innervates _____ which connects to   show
🗑
Tympanic cavity   show
🗑
Epitympani recess   show
🗑
Eustachian tube   show
🗑
show transmits and amplifies vibrations of the tympanic membrane to inner ear  
🗑
show hidden by the footplate of the stapes, separates ME from IE  
🗑
show The sound is amplified in preparation for the loss of pressure by transferring the vibration from air to fluid. 98% of energy would be lost without amplification  
🗑
show The tympanic membrane is 17x larger tthan the oval window, and so all of the pressure is the concentrated on one small spot. (Pressure=Force/Area, reduction of Area increases pressure). This adds 23 dB.  
🗑
Otitis Media   show
🗑
show for Otitis Media, the procedure for inserting a tube in the TM to drain out fluid  
🗑
show expanding growth of accumulating dead skin cells in the middle ear (benign tumor), begins on TM above pars flaccida. Produces enzymes causing destruction of bone.  
🗑
Otosclerosis   show
🗑
show collapsed  
🗑
Function of the tensor veli palatini   show
🗑
show The incus has a short crus and a long crus, and therefore acts as a lever when transmitting vibrations from the malleus to the stapes. Amplifies the pressure by 3 dB.  
🗑
show The curve of the tympanic membrane adds 6 dB  
🗑
show the act of cutting the tympanic membrane. --But NOT of putting in a tube.  
🗑
Three reasons children under 3 get otitis media so often   show
🗑
Difference in pressure between ME and outside environment would...   show
🗑
If the eustachian tube is blocked...   show
🗑
How does a cholesteatoma form?   show
🗑
What are the consequences of a cholesteatoma?   show
🗑
show Occur w/ temporal bone fracture, traumatic TM perforation or barotrauma  
🗑
Most common form of ossicular chain dislocation:   show
🗑
Treatment of ossicular chain dislocation in most common case:   show
🗑
Treatment for otosclerosis:   show
🗑
