Ear

  1. Muscles of auricle innervation
    Facial N. (CN VII)
  2. External ear innervation
    Auricular branch of Glossopharyngeal N (CN IX) and Vagus N (CN X)
  3. External auditory canal gag reflex N.
    Glossopharyngeal N (CN IX)
  4. External auditory canal cough reflex
    Vagus N (CN X)
  5. Carotid reflex
    CN IX and X
  6. Chronic infection of the ear leads to:
    Bony hyperplasia and narrowing of meatus.
  7. Clinical examination of ear tool

  8. Incision through tympanic membrane for pus drainage caused by otitis media
    Myringotomy
  9. Vestibular window
    Oval window
  10. Cochlear window

  13. Stapedius muscle function
    Dampens stapes
  14. Causes loss of function of stapedius muscle which leads to hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to sound)
    Facial nerve paralysis
  15. Bony roof and floor of tympanic membrane are very thin, leading to infection of what?
