Q

Middle Ear

A

When the plane descends, you experience some type of ear pain. That is because of your ear being equalized. If you have difficulty equalizing, the pain will persist for a couple of days hanggang sa maging infection na siya. That is what we refer to as para-trauma of your middle ear.

Q

What happens when you’re not able to equalize as the plane descends?

A

Your Eustachian tube will have a dysfunction. It is not able to open up. That is why you are instructed to do a Valsalva maneuver. Or you can pinch your nose and swallow.

Q

ACTIONS OF THE PHARYNGEAL MUSCLES

A
  • During swallowing, successive contraction of the superior, middle, and inferior constrictor muscles helps to propel the bolus (ball) of food down into the esophagus.
  • Contraction of the 3 longitudinal muscles of the pharynx helps to raise the pharynx, effectively aiding it in engulfing the bolus of food.
  • In between acts of swallowing, the lowest fibers of the inferior constrictor are thought to act as a sphincter, guarding the entrance to the esophagus and preventing the entry of air into the digestive system

Q
  • Minsan a child will come to you complaining of nasal obstruction. Nose breather naman siya tapos hindi naman ganun kadami yung sipon.
