Study Notes
Oído Externo: Pabellón Auricular
- The external ear is responsible for collecting sound waves and directing them towards the eardrum
- The pabellón auricular is composed of cartilaginous structures, including:
- Concha de la oreja
- Rama del Antihélix
- Antihélix
- Rama del hélix
- Hélix
- Fosa Triangular
- Fosa Escafoidea
- Tubérculo Auricular (Darwin)
- Trago
- Antitrago
- Escotadura Intertrágica
- Lobúlillo de la oreja
Músculos Externos (Pabellón Auricular)
- These muscles move and fix the ear in place
- Músculo Auricular Anterior:
- Origin: Galea Aponeurótica and Arco Cigomático
- Músculo Auricular Superior:
- Origin: Fosa Temporal and Galea Aponeurótica
- Músculo Auricular Posterior:
- Origin: Galea Aponeurótica and Apófisis Mastoide of the Temporal bone
Inervación: N.Facial (VII)
Conducto Auditivo Externo
- A portion of the Temporal bone
- Composed of two parts:
- Porción Cartilaginosa: (the most external part)
- Porción Ósea: (the longest part, part of the Temporal bone)
- Measures 2.5 cm in length
- The cartilaginous part is concave towards the front
