Question
- what is the mucous membrane lining the inner eyelids and eyeball called?
○ vitreous humor
○ lacrimal membrane
○ aqueous membrane
○ conjunctiva
- an inflammation of _______ is known as otitis media.
○ the middle ear
○ the outer ear
○ the inner ear
○ the ear canal
Question 91
To answer this, we recall anatomical terms: The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane lining the inner eyelids (palpebral conjunctiva) and the eyeball (bulbar conjunctiva). Vitreous humor is the gel in the eye's posterior segment. Lacrimal membrane is not the correct term for this lining, and aqueous membrane is incorrect (aqueous humor is the fluid in the anterior chamber).
Otitis media is a medical term where "otitis" means inflammation of the ear, and "media" refers to the middle. So otitis media is inflammation of the middle ear. The outer ear inflammation is otitis externa, inner ear issues have other terms, and ear canal inflammation is part of otitis externa.
