Middle Ear Physiology

Frage 1 von 5

1

What are the components of the middle ear?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Vestibular canal, middle ear muscles, cochlea

  • Cochlea, middle ear muscles, ossicles

  • Eustachian tube, middle ear muscles, cochlea

  • Ossicles, middle ear muscles, Eustachian tube

Erklärung

Frage 2 von 5

1

What is the function of the ossicles?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Amplification

  • Decreasing instensity

  • Localisation

  • Protection

Erklärung

Frage 3 von 5

1

How else does the middle ear increase amplification?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The middle ear muscles vibrate helping sounds reverberate

  • 17:1 ratio of oval window to tympanic membrane leading to increased intenisity

  • The opening and closing of the Eustachian tube intensifies vibrations

  • The external auditory meatus is funnel shaped increasing amplitude further down

Erklärung

    b) Short term and self-generated sounds

  • a) Middle ear muscles clench around ossicles

Frage 5 von 5

1

What is the function of the Eustachian tube?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Equalize the frequency of most sounds so that they are within the human-hearing spectrum

  • Decrease the intensity of sounds before they reach the inner ear

  • Amplify sounds before they reach the inner ear

  • Equalize pressure build-up in the ear
