Which structure connects the middle ear with the throat and equalises pressure?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The Eustachian tube
- Step 1: The tube opens when we swallow or yawn. Step 2. This balances the pressure on both sides of the eardrum. Answer: the Eustachian tube. Why not the others: these are parts of the inner ear or the outer ear canal.
