    Ear Histology

    Uploaded by

    Grace Shan Bernus
    This document provides an overview of ear histology at different magnifications. It describes the external ear as lined by skin containing hair follicles and ceruminous glands. The ear drum and malleus are also visible. In the cochlea, which spirals around the modiolus bone, the basilar membrane contains the organ of Corti for hearing. Inside the semicircular canals, each crista ampullaris rests on bony ridges and detects head movement through hair cells.

    EAR (50X)
    • SHOWS THE EXTERNAL EAR
    • NOTE: IT IS LINED BY SKIN THAT CONTAINS HAIR FOLLICLES AND CERUMINOUS
    GLANDS, ALSO TAKE NOTE OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITORY MEATUS
    • ALSO SHOWS THE EAR DRUM AND PART OF THE MALLEUS THAT ABUTS ON THE
    EAR DRUM
    • THE CAVITY THAT CONTAINS THE MALLEUS IS THE MIDDLE EAR

    COCHLEA (100X)
    • Spiral tunnel that is 30-34mm long, it coils 2 ½ to 2 ¾ turns around
    a piece of bone (MODIOLUS) to form a structure that look like a snail

    MODIOLUS

    MODIOLUS
    • Serves as a pillar around
    which the cochlea spirals,
    consist of spongy bone
    • Conical and constructed
    like a screw that has a
    spiral thread projecting
    from its lateral surface
    • Contains spinal ganglion
    that is made up of cell
    bodies of bipolar sensory

    CRISTA AMPULLARIS- INSIDE THE SEMICIRCULAR CANAL
    • each rest on a transverse ridge of supporting CT OSSEOUS
    that projects into the cavity of the ampulla of its
    semicircular canal LABYRINTH
    • Consist of two type of cells: supporting cells and hair cells ( sensory cells)
    • Crista detect angular acceleration and deceleration of the head
