Anatomy of the Ear01:16

Anatomy of the Ear

11.8K
Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

729
Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.9K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

What is Evolutionary History?02:35

What is Evolutionary History?

43.4K
Scientists record evolutionary history by analyzing fossil, morphological, and genetic data. The fossil record documents the history of life on Earth and provides evidence for evolution. However, both fossil and living organisms offer evidence that outlines Earth’s evolutionary history.

Characteristics of Life01:23

Characteristics of Life

261.2K
Biology is a natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their structure, function, development, interactions, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. The field's scope is extensive and divided into several specialized disciplines, such as anatomy, physiology, ethology, genetics, and many more. All living things share a few key traits, including cellular organization, heritable genetic material and the ability to adapt/evolve, metabolism to regulate energy needs, the...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Skin cancer frequently necessitates reconstructive surgery of the external ear.
  • The intricate anatomy of the auricle poses significant challenges for surgeons aiming to restore both form and function.
  • Effective auricular reconstruction requires a thorough understanding of anatomy and defect characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of auricular reconstruction for skin cancer defects.
  • To define the goals and principles guiding ear reconstruction.
  • To detail methods for assessing auricular defects and applicable surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of relevant anatomical structures of the external ear.
  • Classification of auricular defects based on anatomical location and size.
  • Description of various surgical techniques employed in auricular reconstruction, including local flaps, skin grafts, and cartilage reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Detailed anatomical review highlighting critical landmarks for reconstruction.
  • Systematic approach to defect assessment, correlating defect type with reconstructive options.
  • Presentation of established and advanced surgical techniques tailored to specific auricular defects.

Conclusions:

  • Successful auricular reconstruction hinges on a deep understanding of ear anatomy and defect assessment.
  • A range of surgical techniques allows for the restoration of form and function in patients with ear skin cancer.
  • This review serves as a guide for surgeons undertaking the complex task of auricular reconstruction.
