Concha
Intertragic Notch
Antitragus
Lobule of Pinna
ANTIHELIX- The prominent margin lying in front of and parallel to the helix. It encircles the concha in a C-
shaped manner being deficient in the anterior part. Its upper end may divide into two crura that enclose an
area known as the triangular fossa.
CYMBA CONCHA- The smaller part of concha present above the crus of helix
CONCHA- It is a large central depression that leads into the external auditory meatus
ANTITRAGUS- It is an elevation on the lower end of antihelix lying just opposite the tragus.
LOBULE- Skin covered flap of fibro fatty tissue that hangs below the anti-tragus

Temporalis Muscle
Cartilage of External
Auditory Meatus
Tympanic Plate of Temporal Bone
Eustachian Tube
PINNA- It is a shell like projection present one on each side of the head
TEMPORALIS MUSCLE-The main function of the temporalis muscle is to move the mandible orlower jaw.
Specifically, the temporalis muscle elevates the lower jaw in order to bite or close the jaws.
EXTERNAL AUDITORY MEATUS- It is a 24 mm long canal which extends from the bottom of the concha to the
tympanic membrane.
SQUAMOUS PART OF TEMPORAL BONE- forms the front and upper part of the temporal bone, and is scale-
like, thin, and translucent.
TYMPANIC PLATE OF TEMPORAL BONE- is a curved plate of bone lying below the squamous part of
the temporal bone, in front of the mastoid process, and surrounding the external part of the ear canal.
EUSTACHIAN TUBE- The eustachian tube is a canal that connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx, which
consists of the upper throat and the back of the nasal cavity.
14
TYMPANIC MEMBRANE
Annulus
Pars Flaccida
Umbo
Handle of Malleus
Pars Tensa
TYMPANIC MEMBRANE- It is a thin, semi-transparent membrane which separates the external auditory
meatus from the middle ear. The tympanic membrane vibrates in response to sound waves and transmits
them to the middle ear ossicles. It helps in amplification of sound
UMBO- The point of attachment is maximally convex and is called the umbo

Canal Vestibulocochlear
Nerve
Saccule
Cochlear Cupula
SACCULE- The saccule is a globular membranous sac which lies in the anteroinferior part of the vestibule.
VESTIBULE- The vestibule is the middle part of the bony labyrinth and is located immediately medial to the
tympanic cavity. It lodges the utricle and saccule of the membranous labyrinth.
SEMICIRCULAR CANALS- There are three semicircular canals situated behind the vestibule. These are superior
or anterior, posterior, and lateral. Each canal is 15 to 20 mm long and forms 2/3rd of a circle.
COCHLEA- The cochlea is a helical tube of about 2½ to 23/4 turns. It forms the anterior part of the bony
labyrinth.
VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE- The vestibular nerve is responsible for maintaining body balance and eye
movements, while the cochlear nerve conveys neural impulses related to hearing

Definition:
Temporal fossa - is a shallow depression on the side of the skull bounded by the temporal lines and
terminating below the level of the zygomatic arch.
Temporal fascia – is a broad fascia covering the temporalis and attached below to the zygomatic
arch.
Temporalis - a large muscle in the temporal fossa that serves to raise the lower jaw and is composed
of fibers that arise from the surface of the temporal fossa and converge to an aponeurosis which
contracts into a thick flat tendon inserted into the coronoid process of the mandible.
Infratemporal fossa - is a space that exists below the temporal fossa. When seen on the skull
without the soft tissues, these two anatomical landmarks can be seen to communicate with one
another. The fossa is shaped irregularly and is situated below and medial to the zygomatic arch. It is
not fully enclosed by bone.

Anatomical Features:
• Parotid Gland
- Apex: It over hangs the posterior belly of digastric and adjoining part of the carotid triangle:
-Cervical branch of facial nerve.
-Two (anterior and posterior) divisions of retromandibular vein
- Superior surface or base: It is concave and is related to the external acoustic meatus and
posterior aspect of the temporomandibular joint:
-Temporal branch of facial nerve
-Superficial temporal vessels
-Auriculotemporal nerve
- Superficial or lateral surface: It is covered from without inwards by: skin, superficial fascia
containing anterior branches of great auricular nerve and pre-auricular (superficial parotid)
lymph nodes, platysma
- Anteromedial surface: It is deeply grooved by the ramus of the mandible.
- Posteromedial surface: It is moulded on to the mastoid and styloid processes and their
covering muscles.
- Anterior border: It is the thin border present between the superficial and anteromedial
surfaces.
- Posterior border: It separates the superficial surface from the posteromedial surface.
Following structures emerge underneath this
border:
-Posterior auricular vessels
-Posterior auricular branch of facial nerve
• Submandibular Gland
- Superficial Part
-Superficial surface or inferior surface
-Lateral surface
-Medial surface
- Deep Part
Superficial surface or inferior surface is covered by the following structures from
superficial to deep:
- Skin
-Superficial fascia containing platysma and cervical branch of facial nerve
- Deep fascia
-Facial vein
- Submandibular lymph nodes
