Across
  1. 2. this is an enlargement near the cavity of the osseous labyrinth
  2. 5. the tendon of Stapes arises from here
  3. 7. its functions are protection, resonance, and transmission of sound
  4. 10. this allows communication between the Scala vestibuli and the middle ear
  5. 11. is fluid that fills the Scala Vestibuli and Scala Tympani
  6. 14. this is what divides the outer and middle ear
  7. 16. this is where the Organ of Corti resides
  8. 18. the bones of the middle ear
  9. 19. it is the central portion of the osseous labyrinth
  10. 20. Function is to aid in localization of sound in space
Down
  1. 1. it is divided into the Vestibular system and the Cochlear system
  2. 3. largest of the ossicles
  3. 4. it looks like a coiled snail shell
  4. 6. these cells are separated from the inner hair cell row by the tunnel of corti
  5. 8. this nerve innervates the Tensor Tympani
  6. 9. the resistance to the flow of energy
  7. 12. its function is to rotate the stapes posteriorly
  8. 13. the point of attachment for the malleus
  9. 15. is the middle bone in the chain of ossicles
  10. 17. this is located in the petrous portion of the temporal bone
