The middle ear is most often referred to as the tympanic cavity. When this area is inflammed due to an invader (bacteria/virus/trauma) the condition is known as "otitis media". This area houses the 3 ossicles (malleus/incus/stapes).
The middle ear
The scientific name for middle ear infection is otitis media. It is a common condition where the middle ear becomes inflamed and infected, often causing pain and fluid buildup behind the eardrum.
Otitis medea.
Another name for the eustachian tube is the auditory tube. It connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx and helps equalize pressure between the middle ear and the environment.
"Stapes" is another name for anvil in the ear. It is one of the three small bones in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
You have external ear, middle ear and the internal ear. You have the auricle and the ear canal is there in the external ear. Then you have a ear drum, that separates external ear from the middle ear. In the middle ear, you have three tiny bones. Eustachian canal is there in the middle ear. Then you have oval and round window to separate the middle ear from internal ear. In the internal ear, you have vestibulocochlear apparatus and the vestbulocochlear nerve is there.
No, the cochlea is located in the inner ear, not the middle ear.
The oval window is part of the middle ear but in theory, yes it does separate the middle ear from the inner ear.
The different Parts of the Human EarThe three major parts of the human ear are the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear.Outer Ear: The outer ear consists of the following two parts:Ear Flap (Pinna)Ear Canal (Meatus)Middle Ear: consists of the following parts:Eardrum -HammerAnvil (Incus)Stirrup (Stapes)Inner Ear (Labyrinth): The inner ear comprises the following parts:CochleaSemicircular Canals -Auditory Nerve
The common name is the anvil, but it is more properly called the incus. It is the middle of the three ear bones.
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) is the division of the outer and middle ear. The middle ear is sometimes called the tympanic chamber, so the eardrum is officially designated to the middle ear.
The middle ear, outer ear, and inner ear are the three parts of the ear.
