Eustak's neck a narrow passage that runs from the middle ear to the pharynx is a hollow that connects the back of the nose and the mouth to the esophagus.
According to experts, the Eustak tube helps balance pressure between the middle ear and the outside environment. He may be trapped from time to time, as when traveling by plane.
Size of receptors
Since the Eustack tube extends from the middle ear to the pharynx, the stimulus of its final edge can provoke coughs, as the lighthouse feels such incentive at the far end of the Eustak pipe. This causes coughing, although there is no alien object that should be removed from the passage of the air.
