What happens if the air pressure in the throat and outside is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swallow?
if the aie pressure in the throat and outside the body is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swallow the air pressure in your middle ear reaches the same pressure as the air in your throat and outside , and the eardrum moves quickly back-or'pops' into place

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"
What is located between the middle ear and the throat and serves to equalize pressure on both sides of the eardrum?
The Eustachian tube is located between the middle ear and the throat and helps to equalize pressure on both sides of the eardrum. It opens when we yawn or swallow to allow air to pass through. This function helps prevent discomfort or damage to the eardrum due to pressure changes.

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 function of the eustachin tube?
the function of eustachin tube is to control the air pressure
What happens in terms of pressure inside your ear when you reach high altitudes?
If you slowly reach a higher altitude, the pressure in your middle ear will adjust normally through the Eustachian tube that connects the back of the eardrum with the pharynx (breathing passage). When the outside air pressure lowers relatively quickly (driving or flying), the tube may open with a detectable "pop" to allow the higher pressure to escape from the middle ear. The same effect occurs in reverse if the outside pressure is increased again. Until the pressure equalizes in this manner, the eardrum may not transmit sound as effectively to the inner ear.
Why do our ears pop and what causes this sensation?
Our ears pop when there is a change in air pressure, such as when we go up or down in an elevator or airplane. This happens because the air pressure inside our ears needs to equalize with the air pressure outside. The popping sensation is caused by the Eustachian tube opening and allowing air to flow in or out of the middle ear, balancing the pressure.
What structure permits air pressure to be equalized between the middle ear and the outside air?
eustachian tube

Which structures equalize the air pressure in the middle ear with that of the outside atmosphere?
The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx and helps equalize air pressure. Additionally, the middle ear contains small, thin membranes called the tympanic membrane (eardrum) that can move to adjust pressure differences.
True or False The structure that allows equalization of the pressure in the middle ear with that outside the body is the external auditory meatus?
False. The structure responsible for equalizing pressure in the middle ear with the outside is the Eustachian tube, not the external auditory meatus. The external auditory meatus is the passage that leads sound waves from the external ear to the middle ear.
What animal name has wa in the middle?
Cassowary - Swallow - Swan
Why do ears make a popping noise when you swallow?
Ears make a popping noise when you swallow due to the opening and closing of the Eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ear to the back of the throat. Swallowing helps equalize pressure in the middle ear, allowing trapped air to escape or enter, thereby creating the popping sound. This process helps maintain proper ear pressure and can be more noticeable during changes in altitude, such as during flying or driving in mountainous areas.
Why does your ear pop when you ride an airplane?
The 'pop' you hear is the pressure equalizing between the cavity or the inner ear and the outside air pressure. The reason this happens so suddenly is because the air in your inner ear comes through a tube (called the Eustachian Tube) that is linked to your mouth.
Does the eustachian tube allows pressure in the inner ear to equalize with pressure in the throat and mouth and outside of the body?
Yes, the eustachian tube helps equalize the pressure in the inner ear with that of the throat, mouth, and outside environment. It does this by allowing air to flow in and out of the middle ear, helping to maintain balance and prevent discomfort or damage to the ear drum.
What is located between the middle ear and the throat and serves to equalize pressure on both sides of the eardrum?
The Eustachian tube is located between the middle ear and the throat and helps to equalize pressure on both sides of the eardrum. It opens when we yawn or swallow to allow air to pass through. This function helps prevent discomfort or damage to the eardrum due to pressure changes.
