    This document provides guidance on the histology of the ear for medical students. It outlines the objectives of understanding the structure of the outer, middle and inner ear as well as the hearing and equilibrium receptors. It then poses questions about the functions of specific structures like the auditory ossicles and muscles, how sound waves are transformed into pressure waves in the inner ear, and the roles of various fluids and cells. Finally, it lists histology slides that will be examined, including the auricle, external ear canal, macula, crista ampullaris and various structures within the cochlea.

    Laboratory Guidance

    Histology of Ear
    Histology Department
    Medical Faculty
    University of Sumatera Utara
    2008
    Objectives:
    To know the structure of outer, middle,
    and inner ear
    To know the structure of equilibrium and
    hearing receptor
    Be able to understand how sound waves
    travel to the inner ear and how they are
    transformed
    Questions?
    What is the function of the auditory ossicles, tympanic
    membrane, tensor tympani, and stapedius muscles?
    How are sound waves transformed into pressure on the
    fluid of the inner ear?
    What fluid flows through the membranous labyrinth?
    What fluid flows through the bony labyrinth?
    How do the hair cells get stimulated by the sound
    waves? What specializations are on their surface and
    what is the role of the tectorial membrane?
    Look at the difference in supportive cells adjacent to the
    inner and outer hair cells. How could this arrangement
    aid in the contactile ability of the outer hair cells?
    What is the function of the stria vascularis?
