Which part of the ear allows air to move between the middle ear and the mout0h and nose?
Eustachian tube.
In the ear what Allows air to move between the middle ear and the mouth and nose?
the Eustachian tube allows air to move between the middle ear, mouth and nose
What is the tube that sound waves travel along to get to the ear drum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
True or False The structure that allows equalization of the pressure in the middle ear with that outside the body is the external auditory meatus?
False
What do ear tubes do?
The eustachian tube equalizes the air pressure in your middle ear. The middle ear is an enclosed area; air within it is usually sequestered; this is why changes in external pressure will cause some discomfort. The tubes go from the middle ear to the nasopharynx on either side. The tube is usually closed, but can open from time to time to complete its function.It also helps drain any fluids that may accumulate in there to help prevent possible ear infections.(If the middle ear didn't have a path to the outside, then the partial pressure of the gasses in venous blood would suck the air out of the space.)A tube leading from the tympanic cavity (middle ear) to the nasopharynx (region where nose meets mouth); it consists of an osseous (bony) (posterolateral) portion at the tympanic end, and a fibrocartilaginous (muscular) anteromedial portion at the pharyngeal end; where the two portions join, in the region of the sphenopetrosal fissure, is the narrowest portion of the tube (isthmus); the auditory tube enables equalization of pressure within the tympanic cavity with ambient air pressure, referred to commonly as "popping of the ears."its also called guttural duct, otosalpinx, tuba acustica, tuba auditiva, tuba auditoria, tuba eustachiana, auditory tube, eustachian tube and otopharyngeal tube.The Eustacian tube allows the ear to regulate the air pressure inside it.The eustachian tubes join the nasopharynx to the middle ear. They play a part in pressure equalization and mucous drainage.
What is the structure that allows equalization of the pressure in the middle ear with that outside the body?
The Eustachian tube, nowadays known as the pharyngotympanic tube. THis structure connect the middle ear to the oropharnx allowing the air from outside into the inner ear, equalizing pressure and so reducung stress on the tympanic membrane. The tube is only open when the person is swallowing and this is why chewing gums on descending and ascending planes helps ears to "pop"
What is the purpose of the Eustachian tube?
A slender tube that connects the tympanic cavity with the nasal part of the pharynx and serves to equalize air pressure on either side of the eardrum. See the related link for a diagram showing the tube. It is lead to your neck.

What is the relationship between the Eustachian tube and the pharynx?
When food is swallowed, the epiglottis covers the trachea. During inspiration, the epiglottis allows air to pass into the trachea.
Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?
Reducing the air pressure allows the molecules to escape
Why does a partially inflated weather balloon expand as it rises?
As height is gained the outside air pressure on the balloon is reduced. This reduction allows the gas inside the balloon to expand.
Why does the air come out of the balloon?
The air in the balloon is under higher pressure than the air outside the balloon. It wants to equalize.
