-​Its frequency varies with the size of the instrument;tests nerve or conduction deafness

Accepted Answer

The two-pronged metal tuning fork is used in tests like the Rinne and Weber tests, which help differentiate between sensorineural (nerve) and conductive hearing loss. The frequency of the sound produced by the tuning fork varies with its size, and these tests are instrumental in determining the type of hearing loss a patient may have.

Accepted Answer

Tympanometry is the procedure used to evaluate the condition of the middle ear and the mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal. It is particularly useful for detecting fluid in the middle ear, which is common in children with middle ear infections (otitis media).

Question 14

​Match the term to its definition/description.
-​The space within an artery,vein,or capillary;the space within a tube

Accepted Answer

The term "lumen" specifically refers to the inside space of a tubular structure, such as an artery, vein, or capillary.
