The eustachian tube is responsible for pressure equalization, and is normally closed...but if you have ever flown and felt that pressure build, you know you do need to "pop" your ears on occasion. Yawning or swallowing can work, but you can also try Chewing Gum -- doing those things while taking a deep breath can help too.
What else can I help you with?
What tubes open into the nasopharynx?
EUSTACHIAN TUBE or auditary tube.
What is the inflammation of the eustachian tube called?
The inflammation of the eustachian tube is called eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD).
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.
What is the founction of the eustachian tube?
The function of the eustachian tube is to equalize the air pressure in the middle ear.
What connects the middle ear to the throat helps equalize middle ear pressure?
The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the throat. Its main function is to help equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum, which is important for proper hearing and balance. If the Eustachian tube is blocked or dysfunctional, it can lead to ear pain and hearing problems.
Eustachian tube patency?
DefinitionEustachian tube patency refers to how much the eustachian tube is open. The eustachian tube runs between the middle ear and the throat. This tube controls the pressure behind the eardrum and middle ear space.Patency is the normal state of the eustachian tube. Ear infections or altitude changes can increase pressure in the ear, causing the eustachian tube to become blocked.
What two body parts are connected by the eustachian tube?
the eustachian tube connects the pharynx to the middle ear
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"
Is the ear connected to nose?
Your Eustachian Tube connects your ear to your nose.
Channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx?
The channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx is called the Eustachian tube. It helps regulate air pressure in the middle ear and drains fluids from the ear into the throat. Dysfunction of the Eustachian tube can lead to issues like ear infections and hearing problems.
What makes the air pressure in the middle and outer ear equal?
pharyngotympanic or auditory tube (formerly known as the eustachian tube)
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.
