Cochlear Canaliculus Aperture External

The Cochlear Aperture is one of the main openings in the cochlea, which is located behind the bony labyrinth where the cochlea is cleared of earwax. Thus, the aperture plays a key role in protecting the cochlea from infection and other damage. However, despite all these functions, the aperture is also called the external auditory canal.

What is the aperture in the cochlea?

The cochlear aperture is the ear slit that is located behind the ear canal and allows the cochlea to breathe. It is a thin membrane that opens outward and is located at the back of the external auditory canal. The size and shape of the cochlea's aperture may vary depending on the age of the person or the breed of pet. In addition, the size and shape of this aperture varies from the angle of rotation of the head to the movement of the body.

Aperture functions:

1. Protection against infection - the aperture provides protection to the cochlea from infections and bacteria that may



The aperture of the cochlea, or ACU, is the opening at the top of the cochlea through which sound waves pass into the cochlea and become audible. This allows the ears to hear all the sounds that happen around us.

The cochlea is made up of several parts, including the bony canal, inner ear, and basilar membrane. The basilar membrane is located at the end of the bony canal, and this is where sound vibrations occur. It is covered with a layer of fluid called perilymph, which contains small particles of calcium and potassium. Electrical impulses caused by sounds occur in the perilymph. These impulses are transmitted along specialized nerve fibers to the cochlea, where they are amplified and transmitted further through the auditory pathways to the brain.

Acoustic information passes through the cochlear canal. In this case, only those sound vibrations that exceed a certain threshold penetrate into the space of the inner ear. Due to this, sounds of very low intensity that we cannot hear are cut off. All sounds above the threshold are perceived by the cochlea and transmitted further to the brain, where the sensation of sound is formed.

The discovery of ACU has enormous implications for the treatment of various diseases such as deafness and tinnitus. If the ACU is closed or blocked, sound impulses cannot penetrate the ear and sound cannot be heard. In this case, a medical procedure called tympanostomy is prescribed to open the closed hole and restore hearing. Similar procedures are widely used in medicine, especially in the case of treating deaf people.

However, beyond disease, opening the ACU may help prevent complications during childbirth and the postpartum period, as well as improve hearing development in infants and children. After birth, the ACU closes due to pressure on the baby's head as it passes through the birth canal. This can cause the basisphere, which is the final stage of ACU opening, to remain closed, making it difficult for the infant to develop hearing. Medical procedures to open the ACU can help improve hearing, prevent abnormalities, and improve a child's quality of life.

In conclusion, we would like to note that the external opening of the ACU (external aperture of the cochlea) plays a key role in the formation of sound, its perception and processing by the brain. Its discovery may be necessary for the treatment of a large number of diseases associated with
