Study Notes
Understanding External Ear Disorders
- Good afternoon. The microphone is not charged.
- Can students hear? Yes.
- Schedule of class sent out with makeup classes already scheduled.
- Midterm will be on Friday, February 14th.
- Midterm will be one hour, starting at 9:09 AM.
- The midterm will be held in a different classroom in the Business Building.
- No lecture number 6 for now.
- Weeks where no regular class on Mondays, email will be sent to remind students.
- Lecture notes will likely be in paper form.
- Additional questions welcomed.
Embryology
- Embryology is the formation of body parts.
- External ear is composed of the penna and ear canal (called the outer ear).
- Congenital disorders are present at birth, not necessarily genetic. Congenital infections are present at birth. Acquired disorders occur after birth.
- Ear development (embryology) is covered.
- The development and formation steps of the ear structure are highlighted.
- Embryo at 3-4 weeks of gestation described and the branchial arches.
- How the external ear forms, related abnormalities, and how these relate to the embryological development process.
External Ear Structure and Function
- The external ear is part of the auditory system. It includes the external ear (pinna, or auricle), the external auditory canal, and the tympanic membrane (eardrum). Key considerations are the structures.
- External ear (pinna, or auricle), the external auditory canal, and the tympanic membrane (eardrum) components detailed.
- External ear function.
- Ear structures detailed including the antihelix, antitragus, tragus, concha bowl, and the superior and inferior crus.
- Various structures, like concha bowl, antihelical rim, and scapha, will be detailed.
- Important structures in the ear detailed, such as the isthmus.
Ear Disorders
- Hematoma: Blood collection, commonly found in wrestling.
- Microtia: Underdeveloped external ear.
- Cryptotia: Parts of the cartilage are hidden under the skin.
- Otoplasty: Surgery to reshape the ear.
- Extrernal auditory canal stenosis: Narrowed ear canal.
- External ear infection (otomicosis): Fungal infection.
- Cellulitis: Skin infection, possibly following piercing or injury.
- Frostbite, Sunburn: Conditions that affect the external ear due to severe cold or sun exposure.
- Ear canals: Ear canal function and disorders are discussed.
Summary
- The key components of the external ear, issues related to embryological development of the ear, and various disorders that affect the ear are examined. Common injuries, like sports injuries, discussed.
