The ear has a tube that equalizes the pressure in the eardrum. These tubes are known as the eustacean tubes.

Tubes that equalize pressure to the eardrum in a frog?
The Eustachian tubes
What tubes equalized pressure to the eardrum?
Those are called the Eustachian tubes.
Does the cochlea keep both sides of the eardrum equal?
No. The cochlea transmit sound from the eardrum. The Eustachian tubes keep the pressure inside the ear equalized with the external pressure.
What do you mean by PE tube insertion?
PE tube insertion is a surgery to place tubes in the eardrums to equalize the pressure on either side of the tympanic membrane. It's commonly called "tubes in the ears" in lay language.
What is the function of a eustachian tube in a human?
This is the tube that connects the ear with the throat. Its function is to equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum to keep the eardrum from rupturing and to reduce pain that may be felt when air pressure is reduced. When a person yawns or swallows, the eustachian tube opens, and some of the air in the middle ear may pass into the throat, adjusting the pressure in the middle ear to match the pressure in the outer ear.
Is it ok for a child to fly with ear tubes?
kid will have fewer problems than you. tubes open the passage between the ear and the throat, air pressure will equalize readily
What organ system are eustachian tubes in?
Eustachian tubes are part of our auditory system their function is to equalize pressure on both sides of our ear drum so that it can vibrate freely.
Which structures are important in maintaining equal atmospheric pressure within the middle ear?
The eustacean tubes are what allow your middle ear to equalize to atmospheric pressure. They connect your ear to your throat.
The placement of what tubes through the eardrum is to provide ongoing drainage for fluid?
tympanostomy tubes
What is the Eustachian tube connected to?
The Eustachian tubes are in the respiratory system. They connect the throat to the middle ear by way of two narrow tunnels that help equalize air pressure.
Where do the Eustachian tubes lead in a frog and what is their function?
Close to the angles of the jaw are two openings, one on each side. These are the Eustachian tubes. They are used to equalize pressure in the inner ear while the frog is swimming. The Eustachian tube in a frog leads from the pharynx to the middle ear.
In which part of the ear does pressure need to be equalized when changing altitude or scuba diving?
The part of the ear that needs to be equalized during diving is called the Middle ear. The pressure in the outer ear will change with the pressure in the water you are diving through. Between the outer ear and the middle ear is the Tympanic Membrane, or "Eardrum", which will bend, when pressure in the outer ear and the middle ear isn't equal, causing umpleasantness or pain. This is countered by blowing air into the middle ear by what's called the Eustachian Tubes. By blowing extra air into the middle ear, the pressure inside the middle ear will increase, and since the Eardrum is the only flexible part of the middle ear, the increased pressure inside the middle ear, will cause the Eardrum to bend back to its original position. Hence, equalization...
