What is the role of a Eustachain tube?
The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear cavity to the nasopharynx. It aerates the middle ear system into the nasopharynx. Normal opening of the Eustachian tube equalizes atmospheric pressure in the middle ear, closing of the tube protects the middle ear from unwanted pressure fluctuations and loud sounds
Where do the Eustachian tubes lead in a frog?
Eustachian tubes lead to the eardrum. The name for the throat of the from is the gullet.
A canal from the nasopharynx to the middle ear is what?
Eustachian tube
What permits air to enter or leave the middle ear cavity?
There is one canal, which connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx. This canal permits the entry or exit of the air to the middle ear cavity. This is done in order to regulate the air pressure inside the middle ear cavity. This prevents the damage to the ear drum due to excessive pressure of the loud sound.
What is the channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx called?
Eustachian tube
Where does the auditory tube leads to?
In humans, the eustachian tube connects the middle ear to a section of the throat known as the pharynx. These tubes are normally closed, but they can open to allow middle ear pressure to reach equilibrium with atmospheric pressure (think of the pops you hear when you drive up a mountain or go up in a plane). They also serve to drain mucus from the middle ear.
What two structures does the auditory tube connect?
The middle ear & the nasopharynx
What is the location for estachian tubes?
