The development of the union between the manubrium of the malleus and the tympanic membrane was studied in human embryo. For that purpose 25 temporal bones of human foetus, aged from 36 days (14 mm) to 29 weeks (270 mm) were analyzed. Samples were fixed in a 10% formaldehyde solution, decalcified with 2% nitric acid, embedded in Paraplast, cut in sections of 7 microns thick and stained with Martin's trichrome method. During the development a pseudojoint between the malleus and the tympanic membrane several stages were seen. In the first stage, the manubrium was adhered to membrane mesenchyme of primitive tympanum, in the second one this mesenchyme was loose and there appeared capillars in it, in the third one there were collagen fibers in a radial disposition, and in the forth stage, the hollow in the meatal plug gave independence to the tympanic membrane for the external acoustic meatus. The distal portion of the manubrium, included in tympanic membrane, has remained with a cartilaginous structure during end of the time it has been studied by us. The collagen fibers at the level of the umbo surround the manubrium, while the rest of it remains in its anterior edge. |
