This is an inflammation of the middle ear caused by viruses or bacteria, which invade the middle ear, usually by way of the eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the oral cavity. The resulting infection can be accompanied by fluid buildup in the middle ear that pushes on the ...
foramen of Monro,interventricular foramen,Monro's foramen- the small opening (on both the right and left sides) that connects the third ventricle in the diencephalon with the lateral ventricle in the cerebral hemisphere foramen magnum- the large opening at the base of the cranium through which th...
The auditory (or Eustachian) tube connects the tympanic cavity to the nasopharynx, allowing pressure equalization between the middle ear and the external auditory meatus. A portion of the auditory tube's walls are held in apposition, such that only minimal inflammation is required to cause blockage...
Which maintains the pressure of air in the tympanic cavity? The auditory canal (Eustachian tube)connects the middle ear to the pharynx and has both cartilaginous and bony portions; it serves to equilibrate pressure within the middle ear (Fig. 22.5). ...
The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to which structure in the throat? a. Nasopharynx. b. Oropharynx. c. Laryngopharynx. What structure of the ear prevents "feedback" by dissipating a previous sound and preparing the inner ear for the next vib...
