(a) What is the difference, if any, between a semicircular canal and semicircular duct? Between the cochlea and cochlear duct? (b) Name the three parts of the membranous labyrinth of the internal ear. Which of these parts is for hearing, and which are for balance?
(a) choose one part of the auditory conductive mechanism--the outer ear or middle ear--and describe how sound is transduced (changed from acoustic energy to mechanical energy) through that part of the auditory system, and
(b) comment on how the anatomy of that part of the ear enables normal auditory conductive physiology.
a) choose one part of the auditory sensorineural mechanism--the inner ear or retrocochlear auditory pathway--and describe how sound is transduced through that part of the auditory system, and
(b) comment on how the anatomy of that part of the ear enables normal auditory sensorineural physiology.

- Which of the following statements concerning the inner ear is TRUE? Question 3 options: a) The bony labyrinth within the tempoal bone contains spaces for the semicircular canals and the cochlea. b) The fibers of the cochlear nerve are attached to hair cells in the semicircular canals to carry information about movements of the head. c) The frequency of sound waves as defined by their wavelengths are perceived as pitch and are measured in decibels (dB). d) The saccule and utricle are critical sensory receptors for interpreting language, distinct from other sounds.arrow_forwardConduction of sound from the middle ear to the internal ear occurs via vibration of the (a) malleus against the tympanic membrane, (b) stapes in the oval window, (c) incus in the round window, (d) tympanic membrane against the stapes.arrow_forwardThe malleus, incus, and stapes are the tiny ear bones located in the, (a) external ear.

A) detect changes in the rate at which the head is moving B) determine what direction a sounds are coming from C) amplify soft sounds to improve hearing D) can only detect motion if the head moves at a constant velocityarrow_forwarda) Consider a patient who has been exposed to an ototoxic drug that has caused the death of the outer hair cells in the cochlea but has left the inner hair cells unaffected. What sort of hearing loss is the person likely to experience and what sort of hearing device could assist them? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear functions. b) Consider a person who has a partial loss of myelin in their auditory nerve. What effect would the loss of myelin have upon the ability of this person to perceive speech and would either a hearing aid or cochlear implant provide any benefit to their hearing ability? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear and auditory pathway function.

- the sound of a vibrating tuning fork is perceived longer when the stern of the fork is placed against the mastoid process of the temporal bone than when the lines are placed near the patient's ear. This finding is compatible with damage to which of the following structures ? A) cochlea B) cochlear nucleus C) ossicles D) primary auditory cortex E) vestibulocochlear nervearrow_forwardDescribe the anatomy of the ear.

- Apart from the bony boundaries, which structure separates the external from the middle ear? Which two (nonbone) structures separate the middle from the inner ear?arrow_forward1.) The middle ear chamber is an air-filled “hole in the head”, which is adapted to allow free movement of the tympanum as it vibrates. Unless the pressure in the chamber is equal to atmospheric pressure outside, the tympanum will be stretched outward or inward, impeding its vibration and causing discomfort or pain. When moving up in the elevator of a tall building, the surrounding atmospheric pressure is: a) increasing causing air to enter the middle ear chamber through the Eustachian tube. B.) increasing causing air to enter the middle ear chamber through the auditory canal C.)decreasing causing air to leave the middle chamber through the Eustachian tube D.) decreasing causing air to leave the middle ear chamber through the auditory canalarrow_forwardWhat are the specific functions of the middle ear?arrow_forward
