Tympani


Definition:

  • (pl. ) of Tympano

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The lengths and heights of the scalae tympani in ten pairs of serially sectioned temporal bones were measured by an adaptation of the serial section method of cochlear reconstruction.
  • (2) With the aid of analysis of afferent impulse activity in the cat chorda tympani, it was shown that the effect of application of organic acids solutions of the same pH to the tongue could be represented as follows: propionic acid greater than lactic acid greater than pyruvic acid.
  • (3) The threshold functions differ from those observed in patients with scala tympani electrodes, primarily at low sinusoidal frequencies and long pulse widths.
  • (4) At the same time the data are obtained on variations in topography of the chorda tympani at various form of the intratemporal fossa.
  • (5) One group of rats was tested both before and after bilateral removal of the chorda tympani.
  • (6) Each mastoid and epitympanum was extensively involved with chronically inflamed tissue which surrounded the ossicles and chorda tympani nerve.
  • (7) Both chorda tympani of these and 4 control mice were later excised.
  • (8) The electrodes can be implanted in bundles through the round window or into the modiolus; they can, however, also be introduced individually through several drill holes in the promontory for placement in the scala tympani and vestibuli.
  • (9) In this respect, round-window and scala tympani stimulation sites are equally efficacious.
  • (10) Click evoked electromyographic (EMG) recordings were made from the contralateral tensor tympani muscle of anaesthetised mice.
  • (11) It was hypothesized that abnormal signals mediated by the chorda tympani nerve (CT) could be causally involved in NaCl avoidance by F344 rats.
  • (12) Ciliated and secretory cells were concentrated around the Eustachian tube orifice; additionally, ciliated cells were seen in two distinct bands extending posteriorly below the cochlea in the hypotympanum and above the cochlea toward the tensor tympani muscle.
