| A slip may be given to the tympanic bone, stylomandibular ligament, or mandible at its angle. |
| In the region of the ear, the tympanic bone is semicircular, and the petrosal is massive and only loosely bound to the basicranium. |
| The jugular process is enlarged and the tympanic projection is extended anteriorly from the ventral surface of the tympanic bulla. |
| However, this resolution frequently required myringotomy or followed spontaneous perforation of the tympanic membrane. |
| Within this recess we would find the curved remnants of the angular which actually form the tympanic annulus. |
| The cartilage is considered to provide good re-enforcement for the healing tympanic membrane. |
