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.

What is the inflammation of the eustachian tube called?
eustachitis
What is the eustachian tube and where is it located at?
The Eustachian tube is a passageway which connects middle ear to nasopharynx (throat).It's function is to equalize pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane, which is necessary for proper hearing.
Eustachian tube drains into what structure?
The eustachian tube connects the throat to the inner ear and equalises the inner and outer ear pressure. It is this which causes the pop! when you fly in an aircraft and you swallow. The pop is the eustachian tube clearing.
What structure does the frogs Eustachian tube attach?
The ear
What is the founction of the eustachian tube?
The function of the eustachian tube is to equalize the air pressure in the middle ear.
Blocked eustachian tube?
The Eustachian tube is located within the human ear. If the Eustachian tube is blocked, air is prevented from passing through to the middle ear.
What is the function of the tube that leads from the middle ear to the throat?
The Eustachian joins the ear to the throat
Which part of the ear has nothing to do with hearing?
---- ====== ====== eustachian tube ---- ====== ====== eustachian tube
What connects the middle ear to the throat helps equalize middle ear pressure?
Eustachian tube which runs to your nose. I believe the correct answer is the Pharyngotympanic (auditory) tube
What is located between the middle ear and the throat and serves to equalize pressure on both sides of the eardrum?
The Eustachian tube
The eustachian tube connects what two structures?
The function of the Eustachian tube is to help equalize pressure on either side of the eardrum. It connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx which is the area of the upper throat behind the nose.
Channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx?
The answer is the auditory (Eustacean) tube.
What two body parts are connected by the eustachian tube?

Does the eustachian tube connect to the pharynx?
Yes. The eustachian canal connects to the nasopharynx.
Is the ear connected to nose?
Your Eustachian Tube connects your ear to your nose.
What makes the air pressure in the middle and outer ear equal?
pharyngotympanic or auditory tube (formerly known as the eustachian tube)
