[edit] Summary with Anatomic Orientation

This image, taken from Gray's Anatomy, is a view of the right-sided middle ear space with the external ear canal, eardrum (tympanic membrane) and hearing bones (ossicles) removed. The observer is looking at the medial wall of the middle ear, as seen from a lateral viewpoint. The facial nerve is seen to pass horizontally in a path superior to the middle ear, and then turn in an inferior direction and then pass vertically posterior to the middle ear. The Eustachian tube extends anteriorly and is directed inferiorly as its path towards the throat (nasopharynx) extends further from the middle ear. The jugular fossa is inferior to the middle ear space.

Corel Corp.; the same is also true in many other countries, including Germany. Unless stated otherwise, it is from the 20th U.S. edition of Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, originally published in 1918 and therefore lapsed into the public domain. Other copies of Gray's Anatomy can be found on Bartleby and also on Yahoo!. This image is in the public domain because its copyright has expired. This applies worldwide.

	This media file is in the public domain in the United States. This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1923. See this page for further explanation.
