Ka Moʻolelo Kupaianaha o ko Kākou Pepeiao (Anatomy a me ka Hana o ka Pepeiao)

I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kahi ʻāpana kupaianaha a koʻikoʻi loa i loko o ko kākou kino. ʻO ia hoʻi ko kākou mau pepeiao. E noʻonoʻo wale, i ka nui o nā mea a kākou e hana ai me kēia mau pepeiao liʻiliʻi ʻelua! Ke hoʻolohe nei i kahi mele nani, ke kamaʻilio ʻana me kahi hoaaloha, ka lohe ʻana i ke kani ʻoluʻolu o ka manu i ke kakahiaka... Kōkua ko kākou mau pepeiao iā kākou me kēia mau mea a pau. No laila, he aha ka mea i loko o kēia mau pepeiao ʻelua? Pehea lā lākou e hana ai? E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēia mau mea a pau me ka maʻalahi, ma ke ʻano hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo.

He aha ka kini? He aha kāna hana maoli?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he ʻōkana ka pepeiao e kōkua iā mākou e lohe i nā leo . ʻAʻole wale ia, kōkua pū ka pepeiao iā mākou e mālama i ko mākou kaulike . ʻAʻole anei he mea kupaianaha? ʻAe, aia kahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi i loko o ka pepeiao e kōkua iā ʻoe e noho pololei i kou kū ʻana, hele ʻana, a holo. No ka hana ʻana i kēia mau mea ʻelua, ua māhele ʻia ka pepeiao i ʻekolu ʻāpana. Hana pū kēia mau ʻāpana e like me kahi hui liʻiliʻi e hopu i ke kani a hoʻouna iā ia i ka lolo. E nānā kākou i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana ma ke kaʻawale.

ʻEkolu ʻāpana o ka pepeiao! E nānā pono kākou iā ia?

ʻEkolu ʻāpana nui o ko kākou pepeiao. ʻO ia hoʻi: 1. Pepeiao Waho 2. Pepeiao Waena 3. Pepeiao Loko He hana kūikawā ko kēlā me kēia ʻāpana.

1. Pepeiao Waho: ʻO ke ala mua i ke kani

ʻO ka pepeiao waho ka ʻāpana o ka pepeiao e hiki ai iā kākou ke ʻike mai waho mai. He nui nō hoʻi nā ʻāpana nui ona.

• ʻO Pinna a i ʻole Auricle:

ʻO kēia ka ʻāpana o ka pepeiao hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike a hoʻopā. Hana ʻia ia me ke cartilage a me kahi ʻiʻo palupalu i kapa ʻia ʻo cartilage ma loko. He ʻano kūikawā loa ko ka eardrum. Hana ia e like me ka funnel. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo ka hana nui o ka eardrum ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā nalu kani mai kou puni a kuhikuhi iā lākou i loko o ka pepeiao. E noʻonoʻo, i ka wā e kamaʻilio ana kekahi me ʻoe, me he mea lā e hoʻomākaukau ana i kahi ala no ke kani e hele pololei i loko o ka pepeiao.

• ʻAla Pepeiao a i ʻole ke Ala Hoʻolohe:

ʻO nā nalu kani i hōʻiliʻili ʻia e ka pahu pepeiao a laila hele ma ke kahawai lohe. Ua like kēia me kahi paipu liʻiliʻi. Hoʻopau kēia paipu ma ka pahu pepeiao. Hoʻopuka nā kelepa kūikawā ma ke kahawai lohe i kahi mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ka earwax a i ʻole cerumen .

ʻAʻole wale ka ʻōpala pepeiao he ʻano lepo. Hāʻawi ia i ka palekana nui i ko kākou mau pepeiao. Pale ia i nā mea e like me ka lepo a me nā germs mai ke komo ʻana i loko o ka pepeiao. Hoʻemi pū ia i ka maloʻo o ka ʻili i loko o ka pepeiao. Puka mālie ka ʻōpala pepeiao mai loko mai o ka pepeiao ma kāna iho. No laila , ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo maikaʻi e ʻō mau i kou mau pepeiao.

• ʻEardrum (Eardrum a i ʻole 'Tympanic Membrane'):

Ma ka hopena o ka ʻōmole hoʻolohe he membrane lahilahi loa. Ua like ia me ka ʻili o ka pahu. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻo ka eardrum. Ke pā nā nalu kani mai waho i kēia eardrum, hoʻomaka ia e haʻalulu . ʻO kēia eardrum ka palena ma waena o ka pepeiao o waho a me ka pepeiao waena.

2. Pepeiao Waena: He mīkini liʻiliʻi e hoʻonui i ke kani.

Ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka pahu pepeiao ka pepeiao waena. Ua like ia me kahi keʻena liʻiliʻi i piha i ka ea. ʻO ka hana nui o ka pepeiao waena, ʻo ia ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā haʻalulu e puka mai ana mai ka pahu pepeiao a hoʻouna iā lākou i ka pepeiao o loko. Aia kekahi mau mea kupaianaha maoli ma aneʻi e kōkua ana i kēia.

• Nā iwi lohe (Ossicles):

ʻO kēia nā iwi liʻiliʻi loa ʻekolu o ko kākou kino. ʻO lākou kēia:

• Malleus (hāmare)
• ʻIncus (Anvil)
• Nā Stapes (nā staples)

Ua pili kēia mau iwi ʻekolu kekahi i kekahi, e hana ana e like me kahi ʻōnaehana lever liʻiliʻi. Ke haʻalulu ka eardrum, haʻalulu mua ka membrane tympanic. Mai laila mai, hele ka haʻalulu i nā ossicles, a mai nā ossicles a i ka auricle. I ka hele ʻana o ka haʻalulu ma kēia ʻano, piʻi nui kona ikaika.

• ʻO ka paipu Eustachian:

Aia kekahi ʻōmole liʻiliʻi e hoʻopili ana i ka pepeiao waena i ke kua o ko kākou puʻu. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻo ka ʻōmole lohe. ʻO kāna hana nui ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ke kaomi ea ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ka pahu pepeiao. E noʻonoʻo i kou piʻi ʻana i kahi mauna a i ʻole e lele ana i loko o kahi mokulele, manaʻo kou mau pepeiao e pani ana. Ke hāwanawana a moni paha kākou, nalowale kēlā manaʻo. A laila wehe ʻia kēia ʻōmole lohe, a hoʻohālikelike ke kaomi ma ka pepeiao waena me ke kaomi o waho. ʻO kekahi kumu e loaʻa pinepine ai i nā keiki ʻōpio nā maʻi pepeiao, ʻo ia ka pōkole iki a me ka pae o kā lākou ʻōmole lohe, no laila hiki i nā germs mai ka puʻu ke komo maʻalahi i ka pepeiao waena.

3. Pepeiao o loko: He hana paʻakikī a kupaianaha hoʻi!

A laila hele nā ​​haʻalulu i hoʻonui ʻia mai ka pepeiao waena i ka pepeiao o loko. ʻO kēia ka ʻāpana paʻakikī loa o ka pepeiao. ʻElua mau ʻano nui ma ʻaneʻi: hoʻokahi e pili ana i ka lohe, a ʻo kekahi e pili ana i ke kaulike.

• ʻO ke kokoleka:

He ʻano iwi kēia e like me ka pūpū nahe. Ua piha ia i ka wai. Eia kekahi, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā tausani o nā hunaola lauoho lahilahi loa i nā lālani i loko. Ke haʻalulu nā stapes, hele kēlā mau haʻalulu ma o ka wai i loko o ke cochlea. A laila neʻe kēia wai, a hoʻomaka kēlā mau hunaola lauoho e kūlou. ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ke kūlou kēia mau hunaola lauoho, ua hoʻololi ʻia kēlā mau haʻalulu kani i mau hōʻailona uila !

• ʻAʻalolo Hoʻolohe:

Hoʻopili nā hōʻailona uila i hana ʻia e kēlā mau hunaola lauoho ma o ke aʻalolo lohe i ko kākou lolo. ʻO ka lolo ke kālailai i kēia mau hōʻailona a hoʻomaopopo iā kākou i nā mea e like me, "ʻAuē, he mele kēia," "ʻO Māmā kēia e kamaʻilio nei," a pēlā aku.

• ʻO ka ʻōnaehana e hoʻomalu ana i ke kaulike (ʻōnaehana Vestibular):

ʻO ka pepeiao o loko kekahi home o ka ʻāpana o ko kākou kino e kāohi ana i ko kākou kaulike. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻo nā kahawai semicircular.A pili nā ʻano palupalu ʻē aʻe iā ia. Ke neʻe ʻoe i kou poʻo, ke neʻe ʻoe i kou kino mai kēlā ʻaoʻao a i kēia ʻaoʻao, ʻike kēia ʻōnaehana i kēlā mau neʻe ʻana a hoʻouna iā lākou i ka lolo. Ma muli o kēlā mau leka, hoʻomalu ka lolo i nā ʻiʻo i loko o ko mākou kino a pale iā mākou mai ka hāʻule ʻana. Inā manaʻo ʻoe i kekahi manawa he poniuniu (`(Vertigo)`), hiki ke kumu o kekahi pilikia me ka ʻōnaehana kaulike ma ka pepeiao o loko.

Pehea lā kākou e lohe ai i ke kani? He hōʻuluʻulu manaʻo pōkole

I kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi manaʻo maʻamau o nā ʻāpana o ka pepeiao, e nānā kākou pehea mākou e lohe ai i ke kani i kēlā me kēia ʻanuʻu: 1. Hele nā ​​​​nalu kani ma o ka eardrum (ka membrane tympanic), ka mea e haʻalulu ai . 3. Hoʻonui ʻia kēia mau haʻalulu i ko lākou hele ʻana ma o nā iwi liʻiliʻi ʻekolu ma ka pepeiao waena (nā ossicles, nā stapes, a me ka auricle). 4. Komo nā haʻalulu i hoʻonui ʻia i loko o ka cochlea (ka pepeiao o loko). 5. Haʻalulu ka wai i loko o ka cochlea, e hoʻoulu ana i nā hunaola lauoho e kūlou. 6. Ke kūlou nā hunaola lauoho, hoʻololi ʻia nā haʻalulu kani i mau hōʻailona uila . 7. Hele kēia mau hōʻailona uila ma ke aʻalolo lohe i ka lolo. 8. Wehewehe ka lolo i kēia mau hōʻailona a haʻi mai iā mākou i ke ʻano o ke kani.

ʻAʻole anei he hana kupaianaha? Hana ʻia kēia mau mea a pau i loko o kekahi mau kekona!

Nā pilikia pepeiao maʻamau

ʻOiai ke ʻano kupaianaha o ka hana ʻana o ko kākou mau pepeiao, i kekahi manawa hiki ke loaʻa nā maʻi liʻiliʻi a me nā pilikia. E aʻo kākou e pili ana i kekahi o lākou ma nā ʻōlelo maʻalahi.

• Nā maʻi pepeiao:
