Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The auditory tube, also known as the eustachian tube, connects the nasopharynx (part of the pharynx just behind the nasal cavity) to the middle ear. This tube helps equalize pressure in the middle ear and drain fluids. The auditory canal is a part of the outer ear that leads to the eardrum. The cochlea is a part of the inner ear involved in hearing. The ossicles are three tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
