Chapter 15, Problem 3AYKA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The tympanic membrane of the person suffering from a severe congestion from cold, which prevented the opening of the pharyngotympanic tube.
Introduction:
The tympanic membrane is a cone-shaped thin structure found in between the outer ear and middle ear. It separates the outer membrane from the middle membrane. It is made up of epithelial and connective tissue. They play a considerable role in the sound waves transmission to the inner ear by providing energy.

The scarring from the infection prevents movement of the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti. In response to a sound, you would predict that: The tympanic membrane would not vibrate The tympanic membrane would vibrate but the three bones in the middle ear would not move The three bones in the middle ear would move, but the cochlear fluid would not have any waves The cochlear fluid would have waves, but the hair cells would not bend The hair cells would bend, but no receptor potential would be createdarrow_forward

Place letters for answers in the spaces provided.arrow_forwardKnowing what you know about the anatomy of the eyeball, why do you suppose untreated glaucoma (excess aqueous humor production) causes blindness? Group of answer choices a. The excess aqueous humor compresses the optic nerve b. Intraocular pressure increases and the vitreous body presses against the lens c. The fluid accumulation causes the choroid to separate from the sclera d. The buildup of aqueous humor causes the vitreous body to press against the retina and disrupt its blood supply leading to cell death e. Aqueous humor is not reabsorbed as quickly as it is producedarrow_forwardPut the following parts of the ear in the order in which sounds waves would pass through them: auditory canal, cochlea, cochlear branch of vestibulocochlear nerve, incus, malleus, oval window, stapes, tympanic membranearrow_forward
