Describe how sound is received in the ear
1. Sound causes tympanic membrane to vibrate 2. Malleus, incus and stapes transmit vibrations to oval window (an opening in wall of cochlea), setting up waves in fluid within cochlea 3. Cochlear duct (part of membranous labyrinth) divides canal into 3 compartments (scala vestibuli, scala tympani, cochlear duct) 4. In cochlear duct, sensory receptors (hair cells) sit on basilar membrane. Cilia from hair cells are embedded in Tectorial membrane. This sensory structure is the SPIRAL ORGAN OF CORTI. 5. Vibrations in labyrinth cause hair cells to move and cilia to bend. Transformed to electrical signal. 6. Cell bodies of primary sensory neurons are in Modiolus. Collectively called Cochlear (Spiral) Ganglion.

In the clinic Dental anesthesia
Anesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve is widely practiced by most dentists. The inferior alveolar nerve is one of the largest branches of the mandibular nerve [V3], carries the sensory branches from the teeth and mandible, and receives sensory information from the skin over the mandible. The inferior alveolar nerve passes into the mandibular canal and runs within the medullary cavity of the mandible, piercing the anterior aspect of the mandible through the mental foramen. Dental procedures require perineuronal infiltration of the inferior alveolar nerve by local anesthetic. To anesthetize this nerve the needle is placed lateral to the anterior arch of the fauces (palatoglossal arch) in the oral cavity and is advanced along the medial border around the inferior third of the body of mandible so that anesthetic can be deposited in this region. It is also possible to anesthetize the infra-orbital, mental, incisive, and buccal nerves, depending on where the anesthesia is needed.
