What is the tube that sound waves travel along to get to the ear drum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
Does the auditory tube transmit sound vibrations?
No, the auditory tube (Eustachian tube) is responsible for equalizing air pressure between the middle ear and the environment to prevent damage to the eardrum. Sound vibrations are transmitted through the ear canal to the middle ear, where they cause the eardrum to vibrate.
Is the ear canal the same as the eardrum?
No, the ear canal and the eardrum are different structures in the ear. The ear canal is a tube that carries sound to the eardrum, a thin layer of tissue that vibrates in response to sound waves. The eardrum separates the outer ear from the middle ear.
Why do we put our hands when someone whisperes into our ears?
Because when the sound waves reach the outer ear some pass directly down the middle of the tube called the auditory verb. A hand stops most soundwaves from leaving and captures the sound.
Which part of the ear regulates pressure allowing the eardrum to vibrate correctly?
The Eustachian tube regulates pressure in the ear, allowing the eardrum to vibrate correctly. It connects the middle ear to the back of the throat, helping to equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum. This equalization is essential for proper hearing and to prevent discomfort or damage to the eardrum during changes in altitude or pressure.
What is the s shaped tube leading to the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
What keeps pressure on both sides of the eardrum?
eustachian tube
What are the tubes that equalize pressure in the eardrum called?
The ear has a tube that equalizes the pressure in the eardrum. These tubes are known as the eustacean tubes.
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.
What is the tube that sound waves travel along to get to the ear drum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
Does the auditory tube transmit sound vibrations?
No, the auditory tube (Eustachian tube) is responsible for equalizing air pressure between the middle ear and the environment to prevent damage to the eardrum. Sound vibrations are transmitted through the ear canal to the middle ear, where they cause the eardrum to vibrate.
What is the skin stretched across tube in the outer ear?
What you are referring to is the tympanic membrane or eardrum.
What is a cats ear canal?
A cat's ear canal is the tube that connects the outer ear to the eardrum. It is where sound waves travel through to reach the middle and inner ear, allowing the cat to hear. The ear canal in cats is relatively long and can be prone to infections or wax buildup.

Is the ear canal the same as the eardrum?
No, the ear canal and the eardrum are different structures in the ear. The ear canal is a tube that carries sound to the eardrum, a thin layer of tissue that vibrates in response to sound waves. The eardrum separates the outer ear from the middle ear.
What is it when you keep pressure equal on both sides of the eardrum?
Keeping equal pressure on both sides of the eardrum is known as maintaining ear pressure equilibrium. This balance is achieved through the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Proper pressure regulation is essential for normal hearing and to prevent discomfort or damage to the eardrum, especially during changes in altitude, such as during flying or diving. When the Eustachian tube functions correctly, it helps equalize pressure, allowing the eardrum to vibrate freely.
Why do we put our hands when someone whisperes into our ears?
Because when the sound waves reach the outer ear some pass directly down the middle of the tube called the auditory verb. A hand stops most soundwaves from leaving and captures the sound.
