Tympanic part of the temporal bone upper part of the posterior wall by the squama. Its inner end is closed, by the tympanic membrane which originates from the tympanic sulcus; the upper limit of its outer orifice is formed by the posterior root of the zygomatic process, immediately below which there is sometimes seen a small spine, the "suprameatal spine", situated at the upper and posterior part of the orifice. The auditory bulla (pl. bullae) is a hollow bony structure on the ventral, posterior portion of the skull that encloses parts of the middle and inner ear.

In the United States, egg-breaking facilities generate more than 24 billion broken eggshells every year. There are various ways in which the membrane of an eggshell is separated from the shell, including chemical, mechanical, steam, and vacuum processes: see Eggshell and protein membrane separation. It may be prepared for use as a dietary supplement. The isolated membrane is partially hydrolyzed and dried to produce a powder, that is distributed as eggshell membrane (EM) for use as a dietary supplement.
