  18. The Ear

  19. The Ear • Used for both hearing and equilibrium • Divided into three parts • Outer ear • Middle ear • Inner ear

  20. The Ear (cont’d) • Outer ear • Pinna (auricle) • External auditory canal (meatus) • Contains cerumen (earwax) • Tympanic membrane (eardrum) • Transmits sound waves to middle ear

  21. The Ear (cont’d) • Middle ear • Houses three ossicles • Malleus (hammer) • Incus (anvil) • Stapes (stirrup) • Sound waves are transmitted from footplate of stapes • Eustachian tube • Connects middle ear to nasopharynx • Equalizes pressure between outer and middle ear

  22. The Ear (cont’d) • Inner ear • Complex labyrinth shape • Filled with fluid • Contains cochlea • Organ of Corti

  23. The Ear (cont’d) Inner ear (cont’d) • Vestibular apparatus • Sense of equilibrium • Semicircular canals • Vestibulocochlear nerve • Cochlear branch transmits hearing impulses • Vestibular branch transmits equilibrium impulses

  24. Roots Pertaining to the Ear and Hearing

  25. Roots Pertaining to the Ear and Hearing (cont’d)

  26. Hearing Loss • Sensorineural hearing loss • Damage to eighth cranial nerve or central auditory pathway • Caused by: heredity, toxins, exposure to loud noises, aging process • Treatment: cochlear implant

  27. Hearing Loss (cont’d) • Conductive hearing loss • Results from blockage in sound transmission to inner ear • Causes: obstruction, severe infection, fixation of middle ear ossicles • Usually treated successfully

  28. Otitis • Inflammation of the ear • Otitis media = infection leading to accumulation of fluid in middle ear • Causes • Obstruction of eustachian tube • Spreading infection • Treatment • Antibiotics • Myringotomy

  29. Otitis (cont’d) • Otitis externa = Inflammation of external auditory canal • Also known as “swimmer’s ear” • Caused by: • Fungus • Bacterium • Common among: • People living in hot climates • Swimmers

  30. Otosclerosis • Deterioration of bony structure of inner ear • Stapes unable to vibrate • Causes conductive hearing loss • Underlying cause unknown • Treatment • Stapedectomy • Stapes removed • Prosthetic bone inserted

  31. Ménière Disease • Involves production and circulation of inner ear fluid • Symptoms • Vertigo (dizziness) • Hearing loss • Tinnitus (ringing in ears) • Pressure • Treatment • Drugs (to treat nausea and dizziness) • Severe cases • Inner ear or eighth cranial nerve destroyed surgically

  32. Acoustic Neuroma • Tumor arising from neurilemma of eighth cranial nerve • Presses on surrounding nerve • Interferes with blood supply • Symptoms • Tinnitus • Dizziness • Progressive hearing loss • Other symptoms as brainstem and other cranial nerves become affected • Treatment • Surgical removal

  47. AbbreviationsThe Eye (cont’d)

  48. The Eye and Vision • The eye has three layers • Sclera • Uvea • Retina

  49. The Eye and Vision (cont’d) • Sclera • Outermost layer • Known as “White of the eye” • Extends over front of eye as transparent cornea

  50. The Eye and Vision (cont’d) • Uvea • Middle, vascular layer • Consists of: • Choroid • Ciliary body • Muscle controls shape of lens • Allows for accommodation • Iris • Muscular ring • Controls size of pupil • Determines eye color
