ANATOMY OFANATOMY OF EXTERNAL EAREXTERNAL EAR
INTRODUCTION
Hearing is a primitive sense and is
essential in all animals
Well developed and well protected
It needs a sound source, conducting
mechanism, end organ and a central
processor
EAREAR
EXTERNAL EAR
MIDDLE EAR
INNER EAR
EXTERNAL EAREXTERNAL EAR
AURICLE OR PINNA
EXTERNAL AUDITORY
CANAL
TYMPANIC
MEMBRANE
PINNAPINNA
Single piece of yellow
elastic cartilage
covered with
Perichondrium and
skin(except lobule and
outer part of external
auditory canal)
Attached to the side of
skull by ligaments and
muscles (supplied by
facial nerve),muscles
are not well developed
in human
PINNA
LIGAMENTS:-
(1)Anterior Ligament
(2)Posterior Ligament
MUSCLES:-
-Extrinsic Muscles
Auricularis Anterior, Posterior and
Superior
-Intrinsic Muscle
NERVE SUPPLY - PINNANERVE SUPPLY - PINNA
Greater auricular nerve
Lower 1/3rd
of medial and
lateral surface
Lesser occipital N
upper 2/3rd
of medial
surface
Auriculo temporal N
Upper 2/3rd
of lateral
surface.
Auricular branch of Vagus (Arnold’s Nerve)
Root of the auricle
Facial nerve Branches
Auricular muscles
NERVE SUPPLY – PINNA Contd
Blood Supply
 Posterior auricular Artery
 Superficial temporal Artery
Lymphatic drainage
Pre-auricular LN
Post-auricular LN
Superficial cervical LN
EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANALEXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL
“S” shaped canal extending from bottom of
Concha to Tympanic membrane
24 mm length
Outer part (cartilaginous)->directed upwards,
backwards & medially
Inner part (bony)->directed downwards,
forwards & medially
Pinna pulled upwards, backwards &
laterally(make it straight)
EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANALEXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL
CARTILAGINOUS
BONY
CARTILAGINOUS PARTCARTILAGINOUS PART
Outer 1/3rd
& 8mm canal
Continuation of cartilage which forms the
frame work of pinna
Fissures of Santorini
through them parotid or superficial mastoid
infection can appear in the canal or vice versa
Skin covering the cartilaginous canal is thick and contains
appendages like
1.CERUMINOUS GLANDS(modified sweat gland),which
secrets cerumen (wax)
2.PILO-SEBACEOUS GLANDS
3. HAIR is only confined to the outer canal & therefore
furuncles are seen only in the outer 1/3rd
of canal
BONY PARTBONY PART
Inner 2/3rd
& 16mm
Skin lining the bony canal in thin & continuous
over the tympanic membrane
Devoid of skin appendages (Hair and
ceremonious Glands)
About 6mm lateral to tympanic membrane ,
bony meatus presents as narrowing called
ISTHMUS
Foreign body lodged medial to isthmus, get
impacted & are difficulty to remove
BONY PART(cont…)BONY PART(cont…)
Anteroinferior part of deep meatus, beyond the
isthmus, presents a recess - Anterior recess
which acts as a cesspool for discharge & debris
Antero inferior part of bony canal may present
a deficiency in children up to age of 4 or
sometimes in adults permitting infection to &
from parotid (Foramen of Huschke)
EACEAC

Blood Supply
1. Outer Part Superficial Temporal and
Posterior auricular Arteries
2. Inner part Deep auricular branch of
Maxillary Arteries
Relations
 Anterior - Tempero
Mandibular Joint
 Posterior - Mastoid
 Superior - Middle fossa
 Inferior - Parotid gland
TYMPANIC MEMBRANETYMPANIC MEMBRANE
Medial end of EAC-Forms
partition between EAC &
middle ear
Thin, translucent and oval
in shape
Obliquely set – 55 deg
with floor of EAC
9-10 mm tall
8-9 mm wide
0.1 mm thick
PARS TENSA
PARS FLACCIDA (SHRAPNEL’S
MEMBRANE)
TYMPANIC MEMBRANETYMPANIC MEMBRANE
PARS TENSAPARS TENSA
Forms most of Tympanic Membrane and is
tightly stretched, therefore called as PARS
TENSA
Divided into 4 Quadrants
Periphery is thickened to form a fibro
cartilaginous ring – ANNULUS TYMPANICUS,
which fits in tympanic sulcus
Central part of pars tensa is tented inwards at
the level of tip of malleus – UMBO
Bright CONE OF LIGHT– seen radiating from the
tip of malleus to periphery in anterioinferior
quadrant
PARS FLACCIDAPARS FLACCIDA
Situated above lateral process of malleus
between two malleolar folds
Appear slightly Pinkish
It is more liable to rupture than Pars
Tensa as the membrane is loosely
present.
LAYERS OF TYMPANIC MEMBRANELAYERS OF TYMPANIC MEMBRANE
Outer Epithelial layer
continuous with skin lining the meatus
Inner mucosal layer
continuous with mucosa of middle ear
Middle fibrous layer
encloses the handle of malleus
3 types of fibres
Radial
Circular
Parobolic
Pars flaccida – not organized(Fibrous Layers)

BLOOD SUPPLY
Lateral Surface Deep Auricular
Branch of Maxillary Artery
Medial Surface Anterior Tympanic
branch of Maxillary Artery and
Posterior Tympanic branch of
Posterior Auricular Artery.
VENOUS DRAINAGE
Lateral surface into External Jugular
Vein.
Medial surface into Transverse sinus
and venous plexus.
LYMPHATICS
Pre-auricular LN
Retro-pharyngeal LN
APPLIED ANATOMY
1. Small pieces of skin from the lobule of pinna
are commonly used for demonstration of
lepra bacilli to confirm the diagnosis of
leprosy.
 Relatively less subcutaneous tissue makes
the pinna more sensitive to frost bite
 Incisura terminalis is used for end-aural
incision during surgery in Ear.
 Referred otalgia
 Important donor of cartilage and fat
 Isthmus holds the Foreign Body

Anatomy of external ear

  • 1. ANATOMY OFANATOMY OF EXTERNAL EAREXTERNAL EAR
  • 2. INTRODUCTION Hearing is a primitive sense and is essential in all animals Well developed and well protected It needs a sound source, conducting mechanism, end organ and a central processor
  • 4. EXTERNAL EAREXTERNAL EAR AURICLE OR PINNA EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL TYMPANIC MEMBRANE
  • 5.
  • 6.
  • 7.
  • 8.
  • 9.
  • 10.
  • 11.
  • 12. PINNAPINNA Single piece of yellow elastic cartilage covered with Perichondrium and skin(except lobule and outer part of external auditory canal) Attached to the side of skull by ligaments and muscles (supplied by facial nerve),muscles are not well developed in human
  • 13. PINNA LIGAMENTS:- (1)Anterior Ligament (2)Posterior Ligament MUSCLES:- -Extrinsic Muscles Auricularis Anterior, Posterior and Superior -Intrinsic Muscle
  • 14. NERVE SUPPLY - PINNANERVE SUPPLY - PINNA Greater auricular nerve Lower 1/3rd of medial and lateral surface Lesser occipital N upper 2/3rd of medial surface Auriculo temporal N Upper 2/3rd of lateral surface.
  • 15. Auricular branch of Vagus (Arnold’s Nerve) Root of the auricle Facial nerve Branches Auricular muscles NERVE SUPPLY – PINNA Contd
  • 16. Blood Supply  Posterior auricular Artery  Superficial temporal Artery Lymphatic drainage Pre-auricular LN Post-auricular LN Superficial cervical LN
  • 17. EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANALEXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL “S” shaped canal extending from bottom of Concha to Tympanic membrane 24 mm length Outer part (cartilaginous)->directed upwards, backwards & medially Inner part (bony)->directed downwards, forwards & medially Pinna pulled upwards, backwards & laterally(make it straight)
  • 18. EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANALEXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL CARTILAGINOUS BONY
  • 19. CARTILAGINOUS PARTCARTILAGINOUS PART Outer 1/3rd & 8mm canal Continuation of cartilage which forms the frame work of pinna Fissures of Santorini through them parotid or superficial mastoid infection can appear in the canal or vice versa
  • 20. Skin covering the cartilaginous canal is thick and contains appendages like 1.CERUMINOUS GLANDS(modified sweat gland),which secrets cerumen (wax) 2.PILO-SEBACEOUS GLANDS 3. HAIR is only confined to the outer canal & therefore furuncles are seen only in the outer 1/3rd of canal
  • 21. BONY PARTBONY PART Inner 2/3rd & 16mm Skin lining the bony canal in thin & continuous over the tympanic membrane Devoid of skin appendages (Hair and ceremonious Glands) About 6mm lateral to tympanic membrane , bony meatus presents as narrowing called ISTHMUS Foreign body lodged medial to isthmus, get impacted & are difficulty to remove
  • 22. BONY PART(cont…)BONY PART(cont…) Anteroinferior part of deep meatus, beyond the isthmus, presents a recess - Anterior recess which acts as a cesspool for discharge & debris Antero inferior part of bony canal may present a deficiency in children up to age of 4 or sometimes in adults permitting infection to & from parotid (Foramen of Huschke)
  • 23. EACEAC NERVE SUPPLYNERVE SUPPLY Auriculo temporal nerve anterior wall & roof Auricular branch of vagus nerve posterior wall & floor LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE Pre-auricular LN Post-auricular LN Superficial cervical LN
  • 24. EAC Blood Supply 1. Outer Part Superficial Temporal and Posterior auricular Arteries 2. Inner part Deep auricular branch of Maxillary Arteries Relations  Anterior - Tempero Mandibular Joint  Posterior - Mastoid  Superior - Middle fossa  Inferior - Parotid gland
  • 25. TYMPANIC MEMBRANETYMPANIC MEMBRANE Medial end of EAC-Forms partition between EAC & middle ear Thin, translucent and oval in shape Obliquely set – 55 deg with floor of EAC 9-10 mm tall 8-9 mm wide 0.1 mm thick
  • 26.
  • 27. PARS TENSA PARS FLACCIDA (SHRAPNEL’S MEMBRANE) TYMPANIC MEMBRANETYMPANIC MEMBRANE
  • 28. PARS TENSAPARS TENSA Forms most of Tympanic Membrane and is tightly stretched, therefore called as PARS TENSA Divided into 4 Quadrants Periphery is thickened to form a fibro cartilaginous ring – ANNULUS TYMPANICUS, which fits in tympanic sulcus Central part of pars tensa is tented inwards at the level of tip of malleus – UMBO Bright CONE OF LIGHT– seen radiating from the tip of malleus to periphery in anterioinferior quadrant
  • 29. PARS FLACCIDAPARS FLACCIDA Situated above lateral process of malleus between two malleolar folds Appear slightly Pinkish It is more liable to rupture than Pars Tensa as the membrane is loosely present.
  • 30. LAYERS OF TYMPANIC MEMBRANELAYERS OF TYMPANIC MEMBRANE Outer Epithelial layer continuous with skin lining the meatus Inner mucosal layer continuous with mucosa of middle ear Middle fibrous layer encloses the handle of malleus 3 types of fibres Radial Circular Parobolic Pars flaccida – not organized(Fibrous Layers)
  • 31. NERVE SUPPLY - TMNERVE SUPPLY - TM AURICULO TEMPORAL NERVE (V3) Anterior half of lateral surface AURICULAR BRANCH OF VAGUS (X) Posterior half of lateral surface TYMPANIC BRANCH OF GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NERVE (JACOBSON NERVE) Medial surface
  • 32. BLOOD SUPPLY Lateral Surface Deep Auricular Branch of Maxillary Artery Medial Surface Anterior Tympanic branch of Maxillary Artery and Posterior Tympanic branch of Posterior Auricular Artery.
  • 33. VENOUS DRAINAGE Lateral surface into External Jugular Vein. Medial surface into Transverse sinus and venous plexus. LYMPHATICS Pre-auricular LN Retro-pharyngeal LN
  • 34. APPLIED ANATOMY 1. Small pieces of skin from the lobule of pinna are commonly used for demonstration of lepra bacilli to confirm the diagnosis of leprosy.  Relatively less subcutaneous tissue makes the pinna more sensitive to frost bite  Incisura terminalis is used for end-aural incision during surgery in Ear.  Referred otalgia  Important donor of cartilage and fat  Isthmus holds the Foreign Body
