abstract

the aim of this study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles in rat. twenty temporal bones from 10 adult rats were used. the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by a stereomicroscope. finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the sigma statt software. temporal bone in rat was similar to other animals consists of three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous. tympanic bulla was cone shaped and its base was adjacent acoustic meatus caudolaterally. average tympanic bulla height and length of the ear canal were 8 mm and 1 -1.5 mm respectively. the auditory ossicles were three bones: the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. the lenticular bone was a distinct bone, articulated with the tip of the long crus of incus. morphometrical results showed that the malleus was 3.34 ± 0.03mm in total length. in addition to head and handle, the malleus had three distinct processes; lateral, anterior and muscular. the incus had a total length 1.18 ± 0.04mm. it had long and short crura although the long crus developed better than short crus. the stapes had a total length 0.79 ± 0.03mm. it had a stapedial base with anterior and posterior crura. the length of anterior crus was more than posterior.

Morphology and morphometrical study of hamster middle ear bones

The objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles inhamster. Twenty temporal bones from 10 adult hamsters, weighing 275-300 g were used. After dissectingthem, the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by astereomicroscope. Finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the Sigma Statt software. T...

Anatomical Study on the Middle Ear of Donkey (Equus acinus)

Studying the anatomical features of the middle ear of donkey was significant among scanty available literatures. The work was established on 14 formalized heads and dried skulls from both sexes of healthy donkeys of different ages. The samples were intended for the bony structural examination and dissection. Extraction of the auditory ossicles was difficult due to the rigidity of the temporal b...

Anatomical and morphometrical study of middle ear ossicles in 2 to 3-month-old Makouei sheep fetuses

The middle ear ossicles are important due to transmission of sound to the inner ear leading to sound understanding. The aim of present study was to determine the anatomical and morphometrical aspects of middle ear ossicles in Makouei sheep fetuses. For this experimental study, eight sheep fetuses at the age of 2 to 3 months were provided from public slaughterhouse; their middle ear ossicles wer...

Influence of continuous negative pressure in the rat middle ear.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS High negative pressure in the middle ear was thought to be closely related to the etiology of retraction-type cholesteatoma. Recently, it has been detected that mechanical forces are important factors in epithelial turnover and affect cytoskeletal remodeling. Continuous negative pressure in the middle ear may possibly accelerate the proliferation and differentiation of epi...
