Accession:MP:0030159 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of the tiny striated muscle that originates superior to the pharyngotympanic tube, the sphenoid, and the temporal bone and inserts into the handle of the malleus; it tenses the tympanic membrane and dampens the movements of the auditory ossicles to prevent ear damage from loud sounds; it is innervated by the trigeminal nerve
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal tensor tympani morphology
