Answer:

Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of bone near the stapes. This abnormal growth of bone around the stapes prevents the sound waves to enter into the oval window and leads to deafness.

There are 3 bones present in the inner ear i.e. malleus, incus, and stapes. The 3 bones coordinate to convert sound waves into the mechanical wave and transmit to the oval window, then cochlea.

Due to otosclerosis, there would be a blockage in the middle ear and thus an individual can't hear.  

To cure this problem stapedectomy has done by surgery. In this process, stape has removed and the diseased bone is removed. In this place, a prosthetic device would insert to allow the sound waves to the inner ear. Sometimes this surgery is not successful. In many cases properly fitted hearing aid will help people of otosclerosis.

In the stapedectomy surgery, surgeons try to remove the ill-fitted bones of stape and insert another substitute for stape bone which can move and helps in creating the vibration of sound waves in the oval window. So that the individual can hear.  

Otosclerosis is more common in women than a man. It is also genetic.

A person had bread and butter for his breakfast. Trace the changes in the main components of these during its passage through th
Papessa [141]

When the bread and butter is in mouth, mechanical digestion starts. The size of the food gets reduced and it mixes with saliva for easy swallowing. The salivary amylase in saliva begins the digestion of starch in the bread. This is the start of chemical digestion. When the undigested bread and butter reached the stomach, lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allow the chewed food to enter. The gastric secretions containing HCl, acts on the undigested food to produce chime. HCl kill the microorganism on the food and also denatures the protein and later attacked by digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin breakdown protein in the bread, butter . Later on gastric lipase begins to digest fat present in butter. Digestion of the starch in bread does not occur in the stomach because the salivary amylase that began chemical digestion in mouth became inactive in the presence of HCl. Further the chime enters the small intestine where bile secreted by the gall bladder emulsifies the fat and break into small globule which helps in fat absorption.
