Question

The middle ear is connected with the throat region through a tubular passage called___.

• A. Auditory canal
• B. Eustachian canal
• C. Olfactory canal
• D. Alimentary canal

Answer 1

The correct option is B Eustachian canal

The middle ear is a very small region consisting of tympanum (eardrum) and a chain of three very small bones (ossicles) namely, malleus (hammer), incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup). The middle ear is connected with the throat region through a tubular passage called eustachian canal. This helps in equalising the air pressure on either side of the eardrum.
