Frage 1

Frage
What are the components of the middle ear?
Antworten
  • Vestibular canal, middle ear muscles, cochlea
  • Cochlea, middle ear muscles, ossicles
  • Eustachian tube, middle ear muscles, cochlea
  • Ossicles, middle ear muscles, Eustachian tube

Frage 2

Frage
What is the function of the ossicles?
Antworten
  • Amplification
  • Decreasing instensity
  • Localisation
  • Protection

Frage 3

Frage
How else does the middle ear increase amplification?
Antworten
  • 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

Frage 4

Frage
a) How does the middle ear help protect against loud noises? b) What is this effective against?
Antworten
  • a) Ossicles send some vibrations back toward tympanic membrane and out the ear b) Short term and self-generated sounds
  • a) Middle ear muscles clench around ossicles b) Only sounds above 45 deciBels
  • a) Middle ear muscles clench around ossicles b) Short term and self-generated sounds
  • a) Ossicles send some vibrations back toward tympanic membrane and out the earb) Only sounds above 45 deciBels

Frage 5

Frage
What is the function of the Eustachian tube?
Antworten
  • 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
