Solution

The eustachian tube is the structure that connects the cavity of the middle ear with the pharynx (mainly the nasopharynx region). Nasopharynx consists of upper throat and the back of the nasal cavity.
The eustachian tube controls the pressure within the middle ear, making it equal with the air pressure outside the body.
