Conduction Deafness (C)
The auditory canal is about 1 inch long in adults. It starts at the opening of the ear (external ear canal) and extends to the eardrum.
The tube that runs from the auricle (outer ear) to the tympanic membrane is called the external auditory canal or the ear canal.
The name for the brown waxlike secretion found in the external auditory canal is earwax, also known as cerumen. It is produced by the ceruminous glands in the ear canal and serves to protect and lubricate the ear canal.
The fine hairs in the external auditory canal help to trap and prevent debris, such as dust and particles, from entering the ear. This helps to keep the ear clean and prevent blockages. The tiny wax-producing glands in the external auditory canal secrete earwax (cerumen) which helps to lubricate and protect the ear canal from infection and irritation.
The tympanic membrane or ear drum and the external auditory meatus
The auditory canal is about 1 inch long in adults. It starts at the opening of the ear (external ear canal) and extends to the eardrum.
The external auditory meatus is the ear canal that allows sound waves to pass from the external environment to the tympanic membrane (ear drum).
The tube that runs from the auricle (outer ear) to the tympanic membrane is called the external auditory canal or the ear canal.
The name for the brown waxlike secretion found in the external auditory canal is earwax, also known as cerumen. It is produced by the ceruminous glands in the ear canal and serves to protect and lubricate the ear canal.
Otitis externa is the medical term for an infection of the external auditory canal, also known as swimmer's ear. Symptoms can include pain, itching, and redness of the ear canal. Treatment typically involves antibiotic ear drops.
Meatus Acusticus Externus OR the External Auditory Canal
The external auditory meatus and the external acoustic meatus are two names for the same structure.
The external ear is a cartilaginous structure, covered by thin skin. Elastic cartilage
The external auditory canal, also known as the ear canal, serves to transmit sound waves from the environment to the eardrum. It is responsible for protecting the middle and inner ear structures from foreign objects and damage. Its curved shape also helps amplify and filter sound waves before they reach the eardrum.
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.
I found 8: Malleus, Pinna, Incus, Stapes, Auditory Nerve, Cochlea, Ear Canal (External Auditory Canal), and Tympanic Membrane (Eardrum). Hope this helps!
