Description for The Middle Ear. The Role of Ventilation in Disease and Surgery.
Hardback. The middle ear is an organ that, like the lung, must maintain an aerated cavity within it to carry out its function. The findings presented in this volume answer many questions about ventilation and pressure regulation of the middle ear, and should assist in choosing appropriate modes of treatment. Num Pages: 105 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJPD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 8. Weight in Grams: 380.
For the middle ear to maintain its most important function, sound con duction, its pressure always needs to be kept around atmospheric level. The eustachian tube has long been believed to be the only organ playing the important role of pressure regulation of the middle ear. However, several phenomena that cannot be explained solely by reference to eustachian tube function have gradually emerged. For instance, otitis media with effusion cannot always be produced experimentally by selectively eliminating the ventilatory function of the eustachian tube by excising the tensor veli pala tini muscle and the hamulus pterygoideus. Also, most cases of ... Read more
