The immediate exposure to ______ ______ is important to build ________ _______

The opening of the eustachian tube is called the _______ ________

A

Children with cleft palate get constant ear infections because the tensor veli palatini doesn’t reach the eustachian tube, so it stays closed. To help, tubes are placed in the ear for draining.
