Sound waves entering the external auditory canal hit the eardrum. The eardrum is also known as:

• a tympanic membrane
• the pinna
• an auricle
• ossicles

The portion of the bony labyrinth responsible for the static equilibrium is the:

• cochlea
• ossicles
• vestibule
• oval window

The auditory tube connects the middle ear with the:

• oval window
• throat
• nasal cavity
• pinna

Dynamic equilibrium depends on the functioning of the:

• maculae
• pinna
• crista ampullaris
• vestibule

The gelatinous cap that covers the tuft of hair cells involved with dynamic equilibrium is called the:

• otolith
• maculae
• organ of Corti
• cupula

Which is not true of static equilibrium?

• it helps us detect which direction we are relative to gravity

• otoliths float in a gel around the hair cells

• the receptors for static equilibrium are in the vestibule

• receptors in the semicircular canal respond to rotary movements of the head

Which is not a bony chamber that makes up the inner ear or bony labyrinth:

• semicircular canal
• auditory canal
• vestibule
• cochlea
