Nasopharynx
Pharynx and inner ear
The eustachian tubes branch off the pharynx. These allow pressure balance to be maintained behind the eardrums.
Eustachian tubes lead to the eardrum. The name for the throat of the from is the gullet.
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.
Seven passage ways connected with the pharynx are the larynx, trachea, 2 Eustachian tubes, 2 sinuses and the mouth or buccal cavity.
The auditory tubes, also known as the Eustachian tubes, open into the nasopharynx region of the pharynx. This connection helps equalize pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere, which is important for maintaining proper hearing function.
The Eustachian tubes
The superior portion of the pharynx is called the nasopharynx. It is located behind the nasal cavity and above the soft palate. The nasopharynx is involved in respiration and houses the openings of the Eustachian tubes.
Dorsally, the neck contains the esophagus and the ventral to the esophagus is the larynx, which leads to the trachea. The esophagus is a flexible muscular tube connecting the pharynx to the stomach. Meanwhile, air moves from the larynx to the trachea to the lungs when you inhale, and the from the lungs to the trachea to the larynx when you exhale.
