Question
Answer
What is the bony labyrinth   Set of tube-like cavities in the temporal bone  
🗑
What is the bony labyrinth filled with   Perilymph  
🗑
What is the membranous labyrinth   Set of membranous tubes containing sensory receptors for hearing and balance  
🗑
What is the membranous labyrinth filled with   Endolymph  
🗑
What is the Vestibular Apparatus function   Equilibrium  
🗑
What is the cochlea's function   Auditory  
🗑
How many semi-circular ducts/canals are there   3: Anterior, posterior, lateral  
🗑
What consists of the semi-circular canals   Bony labyrinth  
🗑
What consists of the semi-circular ducts   Membranous labyrinth  
🗑
What is the ampulla   Dilated sac at the base of each duct  
🗑
What does the ampulla open into   Utricle  
🗑
What is the Crista Ampularis   Inside ampulla that contains hair cells  
🗑
What are hair cells   Sensory cells with supporting cells  
🗑
How are hair cells activated in the Ampulla   When endolymph fluid rushes over them due to head rotation  
🗑
Where is the utricle   Base of each semi-circular duct (posterior)  
🗑
Where is the saccule   Anterior to the utricle  
🗑
What does the utricle and saccule contain   Macula  
🗑
What does the macula contain   Contains hair cells inside a gelatinous otolithic membrane with otoliths  
🗑
What does the macula do   Detect stationary tilt of head  
🗑
What are Otoliths   Calcium carbonate crystal  
🗑
How are the hair cells activated in the Macula   Movement of endolymph produces movement of the gelationous layer against the hair cells  
🗑
What are the three fluid filled chambers in the cochlea   1. Vestibular duct 2. Cochlear duct 3. Typanic Duct  
🗑
What does the vestibular duct contain   Perilymph  
🗑
What does the Cochlear duct contain (2 things)   Endolymph and Organ of Corti  
🗑
What does the Tympaic duct contain   Perilymph  
🗑
What is the gelationous cover in the Organ or Corti   Tectorial Membrane  
🗑
What is the function of the Organ of Corti   Converts mechanical energy from the bony tectorial membrane scraping against the hair cells into electrical energy  
🗑
What is conductive hearing loss   Impaired movement of sound waves or damage to one of the components  
🗑
What is Sensorineural Hearing loss   Defect in neural pathways  
🗑
What is the Weber test   Determines hearing loss in one or both ears  
🗑
Where does sound localize in conductive hearing loss when doing the weber test   The poor ear  
🗑
Where does the sound localize in Sensorineural hearing loss   The good ear  
🗑
What is the Rinne test   Determines a patients hearing ability conducted by air or bone  
🗑
What would be considered conductive hearing loss when performing the Rinne test   If the patient can still hear vibration on the bone after they can't hear it in the air  
🗑
Inner and outter hair cells of organ of corti   Hearing comes from inner hair cells -- outer ones adjust cochlear responses to different frequencies increasing precision  
🗑
Cochlear tuning   Tuning mechanisms (2) increase ability of cochlea to receive some frequencies better than others. Outer hair cells contract in response to motor stimuli reducing the basilar membranes freedom to vibrate  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
