The lateral, membranous wall (Paries niembranacea) is formed largeh- by the thin membrana tympani, which closes the medial end of the external acoustic meatus, and thus forms the septum between the external and middle parts of the ear. The membrane is an oval disc, which slopes ventro-medialh' at an angle of about 30 degi'ees with the lower wall of the external acoustic meatus. The circumference is attached in a groove (Sulcus tympanicus) in the thin ring of bone (Annulus tympanicus) which almost completely surrounds it. The handle of the malleus (the outermost of the auditory ossicles) is attached to the inner surface of the membrane and draws the central jiart inward, producing a slight concavity of the outer surface. The periphery is thickened, forming the annulus filirosus. The membrana t>nnpani consists of three layers. The external cutaneous layer (Stratum cutaneum) is a prolongation of the lining of the external acoustic meatus. The.
