OBJECTIVES

To describe the parts of the external, middle and internal ear and its contents.

To understand the role of tympanic membrane, ear ossicles and the internal ear.

To understand the pathway taken by the vestibular and cochlear nerves and its relation with higher centers

To describe the boundaries, contents, muscles their nerve supply and their actions on hearing.

RECOMMENDED READING SNELL’s CLINICAL ANATOMY – 7th edition

LECTURE NOTES taken during class!!!

Most of the slides contain pictures. This is done purposefully. Students are requested to listen carefully in the lecture and take notes . Supplement the picture with lecture notes and the text book.

If any clarification needed please approach the faculty after the class.
