  2. Tympanic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanic_nerve

    The tympanic nerve (Jacobson's nerve) is a branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve passing through the petrous part of the temporal bone to reach the middle ear. It provides sensory innervation for the middle ear, the Eustachian tube, the parotid gland, and mastoid cells. It also carries parasympathetic fibers destined for the parotid gland.

  3. Tympanic plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanic_plexus

    The tympanic plexus is a nerve plexus within the tympanic cavity formed upon the promontory of tympanic cavity by the tympanic nerve (branch of the inferior ganglion of glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX)), and the superior and inferior caroticotympanic nerves (post-ganglionic sympathetic branches of the internal carotid plexus).

  4. Chorda tympani - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorda_tympani

    Injury to the chorda tympani nerve leads to loss or distortion of taste from anterior 2/3 of tongue. [13] However, taste from the posterior 1/3 of tongue (supplied by the glossopharyngeal nerve) remains intact. The chorda tympani appears to exert a particularly strong inhibitory influence on other taste nerves, as well as on pain fibers in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_ganglion_of_gloss...

    The axons of these neurons branch from the glossopharyngeal nerve at the level of the inferior ganglion and form the tympanic nerve along with the preganglionic parasympathetic axons from the inferior salivatory nucleus. The tympanic nerve then travels through the inferior tympanic canaliculus to the tympanic cavity forming the tympanic plexus ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanic_cavity

    The iter chordæ posterius (apertura tympanica canaliculi chordæ) is situated in the angle of junction between the mastoid and membranous wall of tympanic cavity immediately behind the tympanic membrane and on a level with the upper end of the manubrium of the malleus; it leads into a minute canal, which descends in front of the canal for the ...

  7. Tympanic canaliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanic_canaliculus

    [1] [2] The proximal opening of the canal is situated upon the inferior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone; its distal opening is situated upon the floor of the tympanic cavity. [1] The canal gives passage to the tympanic nerve (tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve) (CN IX)) and inferior tympanic artery [3] [2]

  8. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

    Auditory ossicles from a deep dissection of the tympanic cavity. Sound waves travel through the ear canal and hit the tympanic membrane, or eardrum. This wave information travels across the air-filled middle ear cavity via a series of delicate bones: the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup).
