What else can I help you with?
Which structure contain the nasopharyngeal with the tympanic cavity?
Tympanic membrane
What is the circular structure to the rear of a frog's eye?
The tympanic membrane.
Where is the pharyngeal tympanic area located?
This is an embryonic structure that will form the pharynx (throat) and the tympanic membrane (ear drum)
What is the structure that allows equalization of the pressure in the middle ear with that outside the body?
The Eustachian tube, nowadays known as the pharyngotympanic tube. THis structure connect the middle ear to the oropharnx allowing the air from outside into the inner ear, equalizing pressure and so reducung stress on the tympanic membrane. The tube is only open when the person is swallowing and this is why chewing gums on descending and ascending planes helps ears to "pop"
How does Sound travels to the tympanic membrane by?
Pressure waves (fluctuations) in air.
How does sound travels to the tympanic membrane?
Pressure waves (fluctuations) in air.
Function of frogs tympanic membrane?
The tympanic membrane in frogs functions similarly to the eardrum in humans. It vibrates in response to sound waves, transmitting these vibrations to the inner ear where they are converted into nerve impulses, allowing the frog to hear and interpret the sounds in its environment.
Annular ligament of the tympanic membrane?
The annular ligament of the tympanic membrane is a fibrous ring-like structure that helps to hold the tympanic membrane (eardrum) in place within the middle ear. It provides support and assists in transmitting sound vibrations from the outer ear to the middle ear. Damage or disruption to the annular ligament can affect hearing.
What structure separates the cochlear duct from the tympanic duct?
The basilar membrane separates the cochlear duct (scala media) from the tympanic duct (scala tympani) in the cochlea.
What is the common name of the tympanic membrane?
The common name for Tympanic Membrane in Human Category is Ear Drum.
Why would blockage of the auditory tube produce an earache?
If the auditory tube were blocked, it would not be possible to equalise the pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane. If external pressure then declines, the pressure in the middle ear would be greater than that on the outside, forcing the tympanic membrane outward and producing pain.
What is the medical term meaning tympanic membrane?
The tympanic membrane is the medical term meaning eardrum.
