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.

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.
How are homologous structures different from analogous structures?
Yes, homologous structures have common bone and muscle structures suggesting that they came from an common ancestor while analogous structures do not share any similarity in features, suggesting that they derived from two separate origins.
What two structures of a frog would most likely have the same chromosome number?
the answer to this question is skin cell and fertilized egg cell because these two have 46 chromosomes. the answer to this question is skin cell and fertilized egg cell because these two have 46 chromosomes.
What two kinds of structures are scattered between the spines of sea stars?
Pedicellariae
What two physical structures do birds and cats have in common?
They both like fish.
What two body parts are connected by the eustachian tube?
the eustachian tube connects the pharynx to the middle ear
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.
What are the two major divisions of the internal ear?
The major division of the internal are cochlea and ear drum and Eustachian tube

What two structures does the auditory tube connect?
The middle ear & the nasopharynx
What is the name of the tube that connects the larynx to the right and left bronchi?
two tubes that connect the trachea and to bronchioles
Are eustachian pharynx and bronchi all regions of the lungs?
The eustachian tube is a small tube that runs from the pharynx to the ear and deals with equalizing pressure on the ear drum. The pharynx actually has three different parts: the oropharynx, the nasopharynx, and the laryngopharynx. Technically, all three parts are used in the respiratory system, though they are not physically connected to the lungs. The bronchi, however, are connected to the lungs. They connect the trachea to the two lungs.
What two structures does the pateller ligament connect?
The patellar ligament connects the patella (kneecap) to your anterior tibia (shin bone).
Why does a change in pressure cause hearing impairments?
Driving down out of the mountains, riding to a lower floor in an elevator, flying into a destination on decent all cause the pressure in your ear to change such that you feel a popping sensation. What makes this happen necessitates a quick anatomy lesson. The ear canal is a closed tube at one end (at the eardrum). The eardrum is the lateral (outside) wall of the middle ear cavity (which houses the middle ear bones). The Eustachian tube runs from the middle ear cavity (actually the anterior wall) to the lateral wall of the nasopharynx (back of the nose toward the throat). The function of the Eustachian tube is two-fold: to open and close in order to aerate the middle ear space (so no fluid builds up) and to drain the middle ear (mucus discharge). Four muscles control the movement of the Eustachian tube that are innervated by the vagus nerve and the mandibular nerve. Normally the Eustachian tube is closed but it will open periodically as previously stated. If the Eustachian tube is disordered by infection or otherwise (such as patent during which case it does not close), then fluid will build up and cause conductive hearing loss (like trying to hear when you are under water).
What is a Salem sump tube?
It is a two lumen tube that removes gastric contents. One lumen is a suction and the other is an air vent. The air vent never clamps or connects to the suction.
What is the meaning of salt bridge in chemistry?
