The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull, and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebrum.
The temporal bone supports that part of the face known as the temple and houses the structures of the organ of hearing. The lower seven cranial nerves and the major vessels to and from the brain traverse the temporal bone.

What is mri internal auditory meatus both?
An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a tool used to examine internal body structures. An MRI of the internal auditory meatus is an MRI scan used to look for a problem with the nerves supplying the inner ear.

Which bone contains the external auditory meatus?
the temporal boneIt is called Maxilla.(Pls. double check the answer.)The temporal bone.The temporal bone contains the external auditory meatus.
Is there a difference between external auditory meatus and external acoustic meatus?
The external auditory meatus and the external acoustic meatus are two names for the same structure.
The external acoustic meatus is a foramen in which skull bone?
It is located on temporal side of the skull and it is where sounds enters the human ear leading to the tympanic membrane. It is sometimes referred to as the extermal auditory canal.
What is the function of the internal auditory meatus?
The internal auditory meatus is a canal in the temporal bone of the skull that serves as a passageway for the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) and the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII), which are crucial for hearing and balance. It also allows for the entry of blood vessels and other structures supplying the inner ear. This anatomical feature plays a vital role in transmitting sensory information from the inner ear to the brain.
Which part of the ear is sound gathered?
External auditory meatus
Where is the auditory nerve?
Auditory or vestibulocochlear nerve goes to your ear. It exits the skull through internal acoustic meatus along with the facial nerve.
What types of bones are the foramen and meatus bones?
The foramen and meatus are not bones. They are bone markings -- each is an opening in a bone.
Can you name the glands that line the external auditory meatus?
The glands that line the external auditory meatus are called ceruminous glands. They produce cerumen (earwax) to protect and lubricate the ear canal.
True or False The structure that allows equalization of the pressure in the middle ear with that outside the body is the external auditory meatus?
False. The structure responsible for equalizing pressure in the middle ear with the outside is the Eustachian tube, not the external auditory meatus. The external auditory meatus is the passage that leads sound waves from the external ear to the middle ear.
What separates the external auditory meatus and middle ear?
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the external auditory meatus (ear canal) from the middle ear. It vibrates in response to sound waves entering the ear canal and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear ossicles.
