What connects your throat and your middle ear?
The eustachian tube joins the middle ear to the pharynx at the back of the throat.
What does the estachian tube lead up to?
The eustacian tube connects the inner ear to the back of the throat.
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.
What channel connects to the outer ear to the inner ear?
the stirrup connects to the outer ear to the inner ear
What is the definition of an Eusttacian tube?
The Eustachian tube connects the inner ear with the back of the throat. It occurs in both ears and drains fluids into the esophagus.
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 name given to the channel that connects the outer ear to inner ear?
The stirrup connects the outer ear to the inner ear
Can an ear infection lead to a sore throat?
Otitis media (middle ear infection) is usually associated with upper respiratory infections -- pharyngitis, laryngitis (sore throat). The ear has a tube, the eustachian tube, that connects the middle ear with the oropharynx (very back of throat, behind uvula) to maintain pressure equilibrium with atmospheric conditions. Sometimes the infection in the middle ear can drain through that tube and irritate the throat...OR the infection starts lower in the throat or lungs and can ascend through this tube and cause an ear infection.
What does otolaryngologis?
it is an ENT or ear, nose, and throat doctor
Which part of the ear connects it to the outside world?
The part of the ear that connects it to the outside world is the outer ear. The outer ear contains the ear drum and the bell. The bell is the part of the ear that shows on the outside.
What is a human tube?
This is the tube that connects the ear with the throat. Its function is to equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum to keep the eardrum from rupturing and to reduce pain that may be felt when air pressure is reduced. When a person yawns or swallows, the eustachian tube opens, and some of the air in the middle ear may pass into the throat, adjusting the pressure in the middle ear to match the pressure in the outer ear.
What part of the ear will be infected if an infection of the throat spreads to the ear?
I would imagine the whole ear, and if an infection spreads from the throat to the ear, then you should really get that checked.
