Which of the below structures converts vibrations to action potentials?

Which of the below structures carries action potentials caused by sound transduction?

Which of the below structures senses dynamic equilibrium?

Where is the internal auditory canal?

This is a thin semi-transparent partition between the external auditory canal and the middle ear.

These are the auditory ossicles.

This portion of the inner ear is divided into three channels.

There are ______ openings into the middle ear.

The set of auditory ossicles.

Which of the following is not a part of the bony labyrinth?

The organ of Corti is located in the:

Movement of hair cells in the organ of Corti against the ______ membrane can stimulate nerve impulse condition.

Which of the following structures is NOT a component of the external ear?

The tympanic membrane:

Impulses are transmitted from the inner ear to the brain stem by way of the:

The sense organs responsible for static equilibrium are located in the

The semicircular canals are in ______ planes of the body.

The major function of the utricle and saccule in the vestibule is

Which of the following is not a structure of the middle ear?

Which of the following structures is concerned with hearing?

The passageway leading to the tympanic membrane is the

Which structure is not inside the vestibule of the inner ear?

The eustachian tube connects the inner ear with the trachea.

High-frequency sound waves cause the narrow portion of the basilar membrane near the oval window to vibrate.

The auditory ossicles include the malleus, incus, and stapes.

Movement of hair cells in the organ of Corti against the cochlear membrane can stimulate nerve impulse conduction.

The sense organs associated with the semicircular canals function in static equilibrium.

Dynamic equilibrium depends on the functioning of the crista ampullaris.

The sense organs responsible for the sense of balance are located in the vestibule and cochlea.

The membranous labyrinth is filled with perilymph.

The correct order of the auditory ossicles deep to the tympanic membrane is: malleus, incus, and stapes.

Movement of the tympanic membrane from sound waves initiates vibration of cranial nerve VIII.

The terms auricle and pinna refer to the same anatomic structure of the ear.

The stapes rests on the inner surface of the tympanic membrane, or eardrum.

The function of the eustachian tube is to equalize all pressure on either side of the oval window.

The tectorial membrane is responsible for generating impulses to maintain static equilibrium.

As the frequency of a sound wave increases, it causes the basilar membrane to vibrate nearer the oval window.

Otoliths are “ear stones” that are found in the matrix of the macula of the ear.

The auriculotemporal nerve of the scalp is a branch of the

The preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the otic ganglion enter through the _______ nerve

The auditory tube opens directly into the

The otic ganglion contains synapses of preganglionic fibers with post ganglionic fibers of

The order in which the three branches of the facial nerve come off within the petrous portion of the temporal bone is as follows:

The cranial nerve that innervates the mucosa of the tympanic cavity is the

The pyramid of the middle ear (tympanic cavity)

The foot plate or base of the stapes attaches to the ______ by way of the annular ligament

The structure that lies just below the floor of the tympanic cavity is the

The auditory tube

The following part(s) of the internal ear is/are filled with perilymph
