Definition von eustachian tubes im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: plural form of Eustachian tube
Eustachian tube: In humans and other land vertebrates, a tube that links the pharynx to the cavity of the middle ear to allow the equalization of the pressure on both sides of the eardrum
Eustachian tube: (Anatomi) The Eustachian tube, also auditory tube or pharyngotympanic tube, is a tube that links the nasopharynx to the middle ear
eustachian tube: [After Bartolomeo Eustachio, Italian anatomist, 1510-1574] A tube about 1 and a half inches (36 mm) long and 1/8" to 1/4" (3 mm to 6 mm) in diameter, leading from the nasopharynx to the middle ear Enables equalization of pressure between the middle ear and outside air syn: auditory tube, tuba auditiva tube, tuba auditiva
eustachian tube: The air passage into the middle ear that allows equalization
eustachian tube: a short tube connecting the back of the nose to the middle ear If clogged, by mucus, equalization is next to impossible
eustachian tube: a tube of bone and cartilage that connects the middle ear with the upper throat and allows equalization of pressure on both sides of the eardrum
eustachian tube: (Bartolomeo Estachio, Italian anatomist, 1510-1574) A tube approximately 1 1/2 inches (36 mm) long connecting the middle ear cavity and the nasopharynx (back of the throat) It has a diameter of 1/8" to 1/4" (3 mm to 6 mm) It can be opened by coughing or swallowing, though it is normally closed The occasional opening of the Eustachian tube is necessary to equalize the air pressure in the middle earcavity with outside air Also called: auditory tube (tuba auditiva)
eustachian tube: Conduct that connects the middle ear to the nasal pharynx It adjusts the air pressure in the cavity to atmospheric pressure
eustachian tube: The air duct that connects the nasopharynx (located in the back of the throat and above the hard [bony] palate) with the middle ear; it is usually closed at one end, but opens with yawning and swallowing; it allows ventilation of the middle ear cavity and equalization of pressure on both sides of the eardrum
eustachian tube: (Bartolomeo Estachio, Italian anatomist, 1510-1574) Tube about 1 1/2 inches (36 mm) long an 1/8" to 1/4" (3 mm to 6 mm) in diameter, leading from the nasopharynx to the middle ear Normally makes possible equalization of pressure between the middle-ear and outside air syn: auditory tube (tuba auditiva)
eustachian tube: Located between the oral cavity and the middle ear It allows for equal pressure in the middle ear and outside of the ear, and drains fluid in the middle ear Back to the top F
eustachian tube: (Anatomy) auditory tube, thin tube connecting the middle ear to the pharynx (helps equalize internal and external pressure on the eardrum)
eustachian tube: either of the paired tubes connecting the middle ears to the nasopharynx; equalizes air pressure on the two sides of the eardrum
eustachian tube: A short, cartilaginous tube connecting the back of the nose to the middle ear The anatomy of this tube is such that it tends to close naturally when ambient pressure is higher than middle ear pressure (as on descent in a dive), and tends to open naturally when ambient pressure is lower than middle ear pressure (on ascent)
eustachian tube: Say: yoo-stay-shun This is one top tube! It runs between the inside of the ear and the throat and is responsible for making sure the pressure is the same on either side of the eardrum
eustachian tube: The tube between the middle ear and the pharynx that serves to equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum
eustachian tube: Connects the middle ear space with the throat; maintains equal air pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane (eardrum)
eustachian tube: a canal that links the middle ear with the throat area The eustachian tube helps to keep the pressure between the outer ear and the middle ear the same Having the same pressure allows for the proper transfer of sound waves The eustachian tube is lined with mucous, just like the inside of the nose and throat
eustachian tube: The passage that connects the middle ear and the back of the nose It acts as a drainage way for the middle ear and regulates the pressure between the middle ear and the outside environment
