Between the ear canal and the middle ear is the?
The tympanic membrane or ear drum and the external auditory meatus
What is the dividing line between the middle ear and the external ear?
The dividing line between the middle ear and the external ear is the tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum. The tympanic membrane separates the outer ear canal from the middle ear cavity where the auditory ossicles are located.
What could cause an inaccurate tympanic temperature reading?
An inaccurate tympanic temperature reading can be caused by an improper placement of the thermometer in the ear canal, earwax buildup, an ear infection, cold temperatures affecting the ear canal, or not allowing enough time for the thermometer to equilibrate to the ear temperature.
The tympanic thermometer is inserted into the what?
The tympanic thermometer is inserted into the outer ear canal.
Is the tympanic membrane in the middle ear?
Yes, the tympanic membrane makes up the border between the ear canal and the middle ear.
Sound waves entering the external auditory canal hit the eardrum also known as?
Tympanic Membrane
What is the name of the tube that runs from the auricle to the tympanic membrane?
The tube that runs from the auricle (outer ear) to the tympanic membrane is called the external auditory canal or the ear canal.
What structures is the outer or external ear composed of?
The pinna, the ear canal and the tympanic membrane.
What is a thin membrane stretched across the end of the auditory canal?
tympanic membrane
What will cause an inaccurate readings when using a tympanic thermometer?
Inaccurate readings with a tympanic thermometer can be caused by earwax buildup, improper positioning of the thermometer in the ear canal, cold temperatures affecting the ear canal, and not ensuring the thermometer is at the correct angle during measurement.
What 3 structures compose the outer ear?
pinna, tympanic membrane, external auditory canal
What is tympanic temperature?
The average normal oral temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than an oral temperature.
Between the ear canal and the middle ear is the?
The tympanic membrane or ear drum and the external auditory meatus
What is the dividing line between the middle ear and the external ear?
The dividing line between the middle ear and the external ear is the tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum. The tympanic membrane separates the outer ear canal from the middle ear cavity where the auditory ossicles are located.
When should a tympanic membrane thermometer not be used?
A tympanic membrane thermometer should not be used if the patient has an ear infection, swimmer's ear, or recent ear surgery, as it can cause discomfort or inaccurate readings. Additionally, it should not be used if there is any obstruction in the ear canal, such as ear wax buildup.
