[Clinical and experimental examination of the resorption capacity of the tympanic cavity mucosa (author's transl)]. 1977

O Borík

In a clinical examination of 25 patients with a mesotympanic perforation of the ear drum, it was found after the administration of 35 mg pilocarpine hydrochloride in water or in agar gel into the tympanic cavity, that the mucous membrane of the middle ear complex possesses a significant resorption capacity. The salivation curves obtained in these tests displayed exactly the same characteristics as the curves obtained after administration of the same amount of pilocarpine to the nasal and tracheal mucosa. The results of mathematical processing of the salivation curves by computer (Hawlett-Packard 30) are also given in the study.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009092	Mucous Membrane	An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.
