Hearing and Balance
External ear
(hearing)
Inner ear (hearing and
balance)
Middle ear
(hearing)
Auricle
External auditory
canal
Tympanic
membrane
Air-filled space (within the petrous
portion of the temporal bone)
3 Auditory
ossicles
Sensory
Interconnecting, fluid-filled tunnels and
chambers (within the petrous portion of temporal
bone)
Fleshy
part
Elastic cartilage covered in skin
Shape directs soundwave to
external auditory canal
Lined with hairs
Ceruminous
glands
Cerumen - modified sebum
(earwax)
Thin, semitransparent and nearly oval
shape
Hairs + cerumen prevent foreign bodies
reaching tympanic membrane
Seprates external and
middle ear
3 layers
Simple cubodial
epithelium (inner
surface)
Thin stratified
columnar epithelium
(outer surface)
Connective tissue
(middle)
Soundwaves cause it to
vibrate
Rupture lead to
hearing impairment
4 openings
2 covered
openings
2 additional
openings
Round and oval on
Medial side
Seperate from
inner ear
Opens into mastoid air cells
Auditory tube (pharyngotympanic
tube)
opens into pharynx
Equalizes air pressure of
outside air and middle ear
cavity
Unequal pressure can distort
tympanic plate, dampens its
vibrations, associated pain fibres
stimulated
Malleus
Incus
Stapes
Transmit vibrations from
tympanic membrane to
oval window
Vibration of tympanic membrane
causes malleus to vibrate because
malleus handle attachted to inner
surface of tymoanic membrane
Malleus head attached
by very small synovial
joint to incus
Incus synovial joint with
malleus and synovial joint
with stapes
Foot plate fits into oval
window and held by
flexible annular ligament
2 small skeletal muscles
insert into auditory
ossicles
Tensor Tympani attached to malleus and
innervated by trigeminal nerve (V)
Stapedius muscle attached
to stapes and innervated
by facial nerve (VII)
Bony labyrinth within the
temporal bone
Lined with
endosteum
Membranous
labyrinth
Inner surface endosteum lined with
perilymphatic cells
Outer surface of membranous
labyrinth lined with perilymphatic
cells
Filled with fluid -
endolmyph
Space between bony and
membranous labryinth filled with
perilymph
High [K+] and low [Na+] opposite of
perilymph concentrations
3 regions
Cochlea
Vestibule
Semicircular
canals
3 parts of membranous
labyrinth
Balance
Balance
Scala
Vestibuli
Scala Tympani
Cochlear
duct
Extends from oval window to helicotrema, back
from apex, parallel to scala vestibuli to
membrane of round window
