Question

Where in the human body is the tympanum?

Answer 1

Tympanum:

1. The tympanic membrane also referred to as the eardrum, is a vital part of the human ear.
2. The boundary between the middle ear and the external ear is marked by a thin, circular layer of tissue.
3. Its mass weight is roughly $14\mathrm{mg}$, and its dimensions are $8$ to $10\mathrm{mm}$ in diameter and $0.1\mathrm{mm}$ thick.
4. The tympanic membrane is incredibly strong and flexible despite its small size and bulk, making it difficult to permanently damage.
5. The outside cutaneous layer, the middle fibrous layer, and the mucous membrane layer on its innermost surface make up the three layers of tissue that make up the tympanic membrane.
