Bacterial infection of the middle ear?
suppurative otitis media
What is carry vibrations from eardrum to perilymph?
Vibration of the tympanic membrane causes movement of the ear ossicles, resulting in the in-and-out vibration of the stapes in the oval window. That touches the perilymph in the scala vestibuli.
What is the function of the scala vestibuli?
it is responsible for conducting sound vibrations. Both the scala tympani and scala vestibuli are filled with the fluid known as perilymph.
What is the Medical term meaning buildup of fluid within the middle ear?
serous otitis media
The oval window is connected directly to which passageway?
cochlea *scala vestibuli* and the round window is directly connected to the scala tympani (where sound dissipates)"The scala vestibuli is continuous with the vestibule near the base of the cochlea, where it abuts the oval window."From: Human Anatomy, 5th Edition Marieb, Mallatt, and Wilhelm
What inner ear structure picks up vibrations of fluid in the cochlea and transmits them as sensory impluse to the brain?
Scala tympani is one of the perilymph-filled cavities in the cochlear labyrinth of the human ear. It is separated from the scala media by the basilar membrane, and it extends from the round window to the helicotrema, where it continues as scala vestibuli.The purpose of the perilymph-filled scala tympani and scala vestibuli is to transduce the movement of air that causes the tympanic membrane and the ossicles to vibrate, to movement of liquid and the basilar membrane. This movement is conveyed to the organ of Cortiinside the scala media, composed of hair cells attached to the basilar membrane and their stereo cilia embedded in the tectorial membrane. The movement of the basilar membrane compared to the tectorial membrane causes the sterocilia to bend. They then depolarise and send impulses to the brain via the cochlear nerve. This produces the sensation of sound.
Is it true or false that The cochlea is a liquid-filled cavity in the inner ear.?
The walls of the hollow cochlea are made of bone, with a thin, delicate lining of epithelial tissue.
In the human body field what is the fluid perilymph?
Perilymph is a fluid present in the scala vestibuli and scala tympani which are the perilymph compartments of the inner ear. It has the same ionic concentration as the extracellular fluid present in the entire body
What is a bacterial infection in the middle ear called?
The term for a middle ear infection is Otitis Media
What membranous labyrith carries auditory information to the brain?
The closest answer to this is the cochlear duct (scala media) where the tectorial membrane is located
What is periymph?
Perilymph is an extracellular fluid located within the cochlea (part of the ear) in 2 of its 3 compartments; the scala tympani and scala vestibuli. The ionic composition of perilymph is comparable to that of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. The major cation of perilymph is sodium.
Which form of otitis media involves a buildup of pus in the middle ear?
If the middle ear, which is normally sterile, becomes contaminated with bacteria or viruses, pus and pressure in the middle ear can result, and this is called acute otitis media or suppurative otitis media.
What is the medical term meaning inflammation of the lining of the middle ear?
Otitis media is the medical term meaning inflammation of the lining of the middle ear. This condition is what we typically think of as a child's ear infection.
