Eardrum Secondary

The eardrum is a thin membrane that is located in the human middle ear and has the function of transmitting sound waves from the eardrum to the inner ear. There are two main eardrums: primary and secondary.

The primary eardrum is located on the front wall of the middle ear and is the main membrane that transmits sound waves from external sources to the inner ear. It consists of elastic tissue called tympanium, which is surrounded by layers of connective tissue and covered with mucous membrane.

The secondary tympanic membrane is located at the back of the middle ear, between the primary tympanic membrane and the oval window, which connects the middle ear to the outside environment. The secondary eardrum is a thin membrane that separates the middle ear from the inner ear. It also consists of the tympanium, but has a thinner structure and smaller area than the primary tympanic membrane.

The eardrums play an important role in sensing sounds and transmitting them to the inner ear. Impaired eardrums can lead to hearing loss and other health problems.

The secondary tympanic membrane is a part of the oval window of the middle ear, located at the back of its transverse foramen. This is a thin fibrous membrane with a diameter of about 8 mm that separates the middle ear from the mastoid cavity. The secondary eardrum is made up of connective tissue that connects to the front of the tympanum or middle ear. It is cup-shaped and covered with a thin mucous membrane.

The primary function of the secondary eardrum is to keep the middle ear and bones of the middle ear safe from high pressure when pressure is applied to the outer side of the eardrums. This is necessary for the normal functioning of the hearing organs, such as the ear and labyrinthine system. To protect these organs from damage and pressure, the eardrums perform the function of
