THEME WORDS:
	0	--	Auricle	|Fleshy part of ear whose cartilaginous framework gives it shape for capturing sound waves--the "ear lobe"
	0	--	ExternalAuditoryCanal	|Tube which directs sound waves from external environment to tympanic membrane (3 wds.)
	0	--	CeruminousGlands	|Glands located along ear canal that produce cerumen, the main component of "ear wax" (2 wds.)
	0	--	TympanicMembrane	|Membranous structure separating middle from external ear--vibrates in response to sound waves; the "ear drum" (2 wds.)
	0	--	AuditoryOssicles	|Three small bones of middle ear that recieve vibrations from ear drum and transmit them onward (2 wds.)
	0	--	Malleus	|Most lateral ossicle, the head of which is rounded, which has the most direct connection with the ear drum-- "hammer"
	0	--	Incus	|Middle, somewhat Y-shaped ossicle-- "anvil"
	0	--	Stapes	|Most medial ossicle which attaches to oval window, looks like a "stirrup"
	0	--	TensorTympaniMuscle	|Skeletal muscle which runs along the auditory tube and inserts on the malleus--protects hearing receptors of inner ear by reducing possible movement of bone (3 wds.)
	0	--	StapediusMuscle	|Muscle which inserts on the stapes--protects against damage by loud noises by reducing possible movement of bone (3 wds.)
	0	--	VestibularWindow	|Membranous partition between middle and inner ear to which stapes attaches--relays sound waves to vestibular duct; also known as "oval window" (2 wds.)
	0	--	CochlearWindow	|Membranous partition covering a circular opening between inner and middle ear and inferior to oval window; also known as "round window" (2 wds.)
	0	--	AuditoryTube	|Elongated tube that joins tympanic cavity of middle ear with nasopharynx--opens to equalize pressure on either side of tympanic membrane; also known as "Eustachian tube" (2 wds.)
