The ear has three chambers: outer, middle and inner ears.
- Outer ear: pinna/auricle, auditory canal, tympanic membrane
- Middle ear: tympanic membrane, ossicles, oval window and auditory tube
- Inner ear: oval window, cochlea, vestibule, semicircular canals & auditory nerve
- Sound waves travel into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane.
- The tympanic membrane vibrates.
- Sound vibrations are amplified and transmitted by the ossicles to the oval window.
- Vibrations are transferred to fluid environment of the inner ear, converted into electrical energy and sent to the brain for interpretation.

What connects your throat and your middle ear?
The eustachian tube joins the middle ear to the pharynx at the back of the throat.
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 system would an eustachian tube be in?
It connects the middle ear cavity with the nazopharynx . It aereates the middle ear system and clears mucus from this system
Which part of the ear allows air to move between the middle ear and the mout0h and nose?
Eustachian tube.
What is the channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx called?
Eustachian tube
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
What does the eustachain tube do?
The Eustachian tube connects the back of the nose to the middle ear. It is a small tube that is only three to four centimeters long.
What is the pharyngotympanic tube and what is its purpose?
pharyngotympanic ( pharyn: pharynx, go, tympanic:middle ear) is also called Eustachian tube or Auditory tube. this tube is the connection between the middle ear to pharynx (nasal cavity). the functions are: 1- the equalizing pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. 2-drains mucus from the middle ear.
What connects your throat and your middle ear?
The eustachian tube joins the middle ear to the pharynx at the back of the throat.
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 is the tube connecting the middle ear to the throat?
the Eustachian tube (a.k.a. the pharyngotympanic tube)
A canal from the nasopharynx to the middle ear is what?
Eustachian tube
What is the passageway that allows air to pass into the middle ear?
The auditory tube (aka Eustachian tube) opens at one end in the middle ear and the other end in the pharynx (throat). It is important in maintaining the correct air pressure in the middle ear, but it is also the means of bacteria getting up into the middle ear and causing earaches or otitis media.
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"
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.
Where are the eustachian tubes in your middle ear?
The tube right below the Cochlea in the inner 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.
