  1. Chapter 15 How we HearBiology 2121

  2. Nature of Sound • What is sound? Pressure disturbances (high and low pressure) • Produced by vibrating object (molecule vibration) • Compression of air molecules (high pressure) and rarefacation(low pressure) • Compression and rarefactions are called sound waves.

  3. Nature of Sound • 6. Frequency: number of waves pass a point / time • Wavelength: distance between two crests • Frequency range of hearing : 20-20,000 Hz. • Most sensitive- 1500 to 4000 Hz • Ultrasonic Sound • 9. Pitch, Loudness and decibels

  4. Parts of the ear- Outer ear • OuterEar • (1). Helix and Lobule • (2). ExternalAcousticMeatus (Auditory Canal) • (3). CeruminousGlands • (4). TympanicMembrane • TheTympanicCavity – Middle Ear • (1). AuditoryOssicles • Malleus • Incus • Stapes • Skeletal Muscles

  5. Middle Ear TheTympanicCavity – Middle Ear (1). Pharyngotympanic (auditory) Tube (2). Skeletal Muscles **OtitisMedia

  6. inner ear • Entrance - Inner Ear • (1). Vestibular and CochlearWindows • The Inner Ear • (1). OsseousLabyrinth • Vestibule, Cochlea and Semicircular Canals • Filled with perilymph

  7. Inner Ear • (2). MembranousLaybrinth • Sacs and ducts inside the osseous labyrinth • Filled with endolymph

  8. Inner ear – Vestibule • The Vestibule • (1). Perilymph surrounds sacs • Saccule and Utricle • Maculae – Equilibrium Receptors • The Semicircular Canals • (1). Contains: • Semicircularduct • Ampulla – CristaAmpullaris

  9. cochleA • TheCochlea • (1). Cochlearduct • Organ of Corti • Modiolus • (2). SpiralLamina divides bony cochlea into 3-area • Scalavestibuli • Scala media • Scala Tympani • (3). Helicotrema

  10. Organ of corti • (1). ScalaVestibuliand Tympani– perilymph • (2). ScalaMedia– contains Organ of Corti (Endolymph) • Cochlear Duct • (3). ScalaMedia • StriaVascularis – external wall (endolymph) • Floor – basilar membrane (supports organ of corti) – where CN VIII originates

  11. Formation of cN VIII (Auditory nerve) • CN VIII • (1). CochlearNerve • Afferent fibers coiled around hair cells in the Organ of Corti • (2). VestibularNerve • Wound around hair cells in the Maculae

  12. Basilar membrane SoundWavestoaNerveTransduction (1). Soundwaves and vibrations through the outer and inner ear (2). Ossiclesvibrate – oval window sets fluids in motion (3). Perilymph in motion (4). Activation of the basilarmembrane and Organ of Corti Frequencies (1). Low <20 Hz (2). Highest Sensitivity– 1500 to 4000 Hz

  13. Video Link • Process of Hearing • Transduction • Deafness

  14. Activation of the Basilar Membrane – Excitement of Hair Cells • (1). Pressure waves through the cochlear duct sets the basilar membrane into vibration • (2). Inner and Outer Hair Cells • Stereocilia and Kinocilium • Bending of the Cilia – Nerve Transduction

  15. Pathway to the brain

  16. Equilibrium PathWay to Brain

  17. deafness • Types • (1). Conduction • (2). Sensorineural • Profound vs. Hard of Hearing • Cochlear Implants

  18. Equilibrium – Maculae • (1). Vestibule • Maculae – Static Equilibrium • (2). Structure • Hair Cells and Otoliths • Vestibular Nerve VIII • (3). Response • Vertical movements

  19. Equilibrium - Semicircular Canal • (1). CristaAmpularis • Ampulla • (2). Rotational and Angular movements • Acceleration and deceleration • (3). Structure • Cells – supporting and hair • Cupula
