Anatomical terms of muscle

The stapedius is the smallest skeletal muscle in the human body.[1] At just over one millimeter in length, its purpose is to stabilize the smallest bone in the body, the stapes or stirrup bone of the middle ear.

Structure

The stapedius emerges from a pinpoint foramen or opening in the apex of the pyramidal eminence (a hollow, cone-shaped prominence in the posterior wall of the tympanic cavity), and inserts into the neck of the stapes.[2] : 863 

Nerve supply

The stapedius is supplied by the nerve to stapedius, a branch of the facial nerve.[2] : 863 

Function

The stapedius dampens the vibrations of the stapes by pulling on the neck of that bone.[2] : 863  As one of the muscles involved in the acoustic reflex it prevents excess movement of the stapes, helping to control the amplitude of sound waves from the general external environment to the inner ear.[3]

Clinical significance

Paralysis of the stapedius allows wider oscillation of the stapes, resulting in heightened reaction of the auditory ossicles to sound vibration. This condition, known as hyperacusis, causes normal sounds to be perceived as very loud. Paralysis of the stapedius muscle may result when the nerve to the stapedius, a branch of the facial nerve, is damaged, or when the facial nerve itself is damaged before the nerve to stapedius branches. In cases of Bell's palsy, a unilateral paralysis of the facial nerve, the stapedius is paralyzed and hyperacusis may result.[3]

Main article: Evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles

Like the stapes bone to which it attaches, the stapedius muscle shares evolutionary history with other vertebrate structures.

The mammalian stapedius evolved from a muscle called the depressor mandibulae in other tetrapods, the function of which was to open the jaws (this function was taken over by the digastric muscle in mammals). The depressor mandibulae arose from the levator operculi in bony fish, and is equivalent to the epihyoidean in sharks. Like the stapedius, all of these muscles derive from the hyoid arch and are innervated by cranial nerve VII.[4]

Radar homing semi-aktif

Radar homing semi-aktif atau Semi-active radar homing (SARH) adalah jenis sistem panduan rudal yang umum, mungkin jenis yang paling umum dan sering digunakan untuk sistem rudal udara-ke-udara dan permukaan-ke-udara jarak jauh. Nama tersebut mengacu pada fakta bahwa rudal itu sendiri hanya merupakan pendeteksi sinyal radar pasif—yang disediakan oleh sumber eksternal (“offboard”)—yang memantulkan target (berbeda dengan radar homing aktif, yang menggunakan transceiver radar aktif).

Average

Number taken as representative of a list of numbers In ordinary language, an average is a single number or value that best represents a set of data. The type of average taken as most typically representative of a list of numbers is the arithmetic mean – the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers are in the list. For example, the mean average of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 (summing to 25) is 5. Depending on the context, the most representative statistic to be taken as...
