Is the eardrum part of the inner ear?
The inner delicate part; easily damaged by loud noises and high pressure.
The relationship between the temporal bone and the ear?
The petrous part of the temporal bone encloses the structures of the inner ear. Inside the tympanic cavity within the petrous part is the middle ear. The external acoustic canal ends at the tympanic membrane, which leads to the inner ear. Mastoid air cells within the mastoid process are connected to the tympanic cavity.
What structure is articulated by the auditory ossicles?
There is an articulation or joint between each of the three ossicles, but the final structure is the oval window which would bring the stapes/stirrup ossicle in contact with the cochlea of the inner ear.
What is pinna notch?
The pinna notch is the range of audio frequencies that are suppressed due to phase-delay interference between sound that is reflected from the pinna (outer ear) and sound that travels directly to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). the largely cartilaginous projecting portion of the external ear
What is between the cochlea and the ossicles?
The last of the ossicles of the middle ear is the stapes. It delivers the sound vibrations to the oval window separating the air environment of the middle ear from the fluid environment of the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, vestibule and semicircular canal.
What is the dividing line between the middle ear and the external ear?
The tympanic membrane separates the external ear from the middle ear.
Is the tympanic membrane in the middle ear?
Yes, the tympanic membrane makes up the border between the ear canal and the middle ear.
What is the difference between a myringotomy and a tympanostomy?
tympanotomy- where you make a hole in the tympanic membrane. myringotomy- where you give an incision on the tympanic membrane which heals within days.
What are the small bones that extend between the tympanic membrane and the inner ear?
The 3 auditory ossicles are "little bones" found in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window. They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
What is the line between the external ear and middle ear?
The tympanic membrane!
What is the boundary between the middle and inner ear?
The tympanic membrane or ear drum and the external auditory meatus
Between the ear canal and the middle ear is the?
The tympanic membrane or ear drum and the external auditory meatus
Which part of the vibrates when soundwaves hit it?
The membrane that vibrates and transmits the vibrations is called the tympanic membrane or the eardrum. It is the divider between the external and middle chambers of the ear.
Is the eardrum part of the inner ear?
The inner delicate part; easily damaged by loud noises and high pressure.
What is the location of the eustachian tubes in a frog?

The relationship between the temporal bone and the ear?
The petrous part of the temporal bone encloses the structures of the inner ear. Inside the tympanic cavity within the petrous part is the middle ear. The external acoustic canal ends at the tympanic membrane, which leads to the inner ear. Mastoid air cells within the mastoid process are connected to the tympanic cavity.
What do the tympanic membrane malleue incus stapes and oval window do?
The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is a thin sheet of tissue that vibrates in response to sound waves. The malleus, incus, and stapes are three tiny bones in the middle ear that amplify and transmit these vibrations to the inner ear. The stapes pushes against the oval window, which is the entrance to the fluid-filled cochlea in the inner ear, transferring the sound energy into the fluid.
